Cool Short 360 type rating

Hi guys
Anyone flying the Short 360 ?
I am looking for a Short 360 FAA type rating and I was wondering if there are other company than Flight Safety to train with ?
Thanks

I don't know of any in the Caribbean. Others here could tell you about Latin America. There are lots in Europe - BAC, Emerald, Streamline... Where are you based?

Thanks for your reply.
I am in Europe but I should leave shortly for Africa where I will need the Short 360 type rating so I can complete it in Europe.
I hold FAA and JAR Lic but the aircraft will be N- regist.
I guess that BAC or Streamline cannot offer a FAA training/examiner, however do you know if the FAA would recognize a JAR FCL type rating and therefore add it to my FAA lic ?
Your help is very much appreciated

I dont think the FAA will accept a JAA type rating.
I did try to convert mine (with 600hr on typ) but they still wanted me to do a simcheck.
Don't go to BAC express very expensive, Streamline is a lot cheaper .
You could also try express Airways in Germany they have a lot of shorts and had a lot of US pilots.
or try ,Air cargo Carriers,Milwaukee phone 9204821711(they did have 4*360 and 10*330 ,a couple of years back)
or Corporate air (406 2481541) also old information out of JP airline fleet 1999
good luck with your type.

Neil

Thanks very much Neil
I'll try the different companies, the best is to do it in the US but if I can't, it should be cheaper to train with Streamline then do a sim check in the US ... as flight safety charge approx 20 000$ and I think Streamline 8 000 £ ... also holding the FAA but the JAR rating as well might be a good option !
Thanks again
