JARFCL in Germany

[Airking]

Hi folks,
the Germans implemended JARFCL by may 1st...
Now that raises a question :
I heard, that the UK and Denmark made exemptions on the "tradein" of national ATP´s into JARATP.
As for now, one needs 500 hrs Multicrew-Aircraft time (FAR/JAR25 basically) plus 1500 hrs total plus Longrange theory to get a JARATP, otherwise its the frozenATP (CPL).
One guy told me, that the UK and Denmark have granted exceptions for these, that have been flying FAR/JAR 23 only, but this commercially with a 2 man crew.

True or wrong ?


Many thanks

Airking,

What you are referring to is probably the (adopted by JAA) change to JAR-FCL 1.015, Appx 1, in NPA 14, widening the credits from strict MPA flying, to also include quote:

>1500 hours as PIC or co-pilot on multi-pilot aeroplanes according to operational requirements

You may also have interest in Temporary Guidance Leaflet no. 6 in the JIP to JAR-FCL, regarding MCC credit (JAR-FCL 1.250 (a) (3), saying:

Applicants having experience of at least 500 hours as a pilot in multi-pilot operations in accordance with JAR-OPS on single pilot aeroplanes JAR/FAR-23 Commuter Category, shall be considered to meet the requirement of Multi-Crew Co-operation (MCC).

These changes will eventually be part of Amendment 3 to JAR-FCL, but it will take the member countries a while to implement these changes. Some countries are faster than others, that's life.
