B2 212/412 course for EASA Rating??

[rovaeirg]

Hi - can anyone help me sourcing options for a B2 212/412 course - so I can add the Type Ratings to my EASA Licence - to get a job!
I have years of experience on these types, but because of the EASA requirement I need to do this course. Thanks.

INAER Portugal (Helisul), Lisboa ... they are JAR/FCL (EASA) TRTO for B212/412

Very good course!:ok:

With the JAR-FCL it used to be that you could transfer a type rating from a valid ICAO license onto your JAR one provided you had 500 hours on type. If you happen to have years of experience on B212/412 series then it shouldn't really be a problem. You would be issued a B212/412 type rating with a restriction for whatever country your ICAO is originally from (New Zealand?) The restriction can be lifted once you complete a checkride with a JAR TRE. I am not aware whether things have changed with EASA but shouldn't be hard to find out.

Pretty sure he means engineering course.

Try FBH.

:oh: You're right, apologies!

Thanks - yes I mean Engineering - B2 (Avionics).

One new bad thing with EASA will be that if you do not revalidate your type rating for more than 3 years, you will loose it (almost) forever.

That mean - (almost) new type rating course (not only a check ride!):ugh:

Nonsense! You do not 'lose' the type rating, you just need refresher training at the discretion of an ATO before renewing it.

[Jet Ranger]

Yes, but with approx. similar costs to the new type-rating ...Not lose, but "refresh in ATO" ... sounds expensive!

At present there is no reciprocal agreement between EASA and CASA re conversion of Licences.
