Refer to AIC60-2 regarding sim approvals. In short - pretty much any class D sim in recognised counry is accepted. List of recognised countries is somewhere within CAR. I've also posted it earlier in different thread.
Standard procedure:
- pick a place and check if CASA training dept will accept it. Respectable training center will have their TO and Sim approvals available for download
- check if center's checker has approval to conduct IPC/LPC on your type. Ideally it will be issued by the same country
then
- get an oversesas IPC test number from CASA (usually any ATO can do that)
- do a ground component test with local ATO
- do IPC overseas
- grab copies of checker's, sim, TO approvals with office stamp on them
- finalise the papers with local ATO and send them to CASA
Order may change depending on how well you know your ATO. From memory - you have 28 days from proposed date of test to finish everything, so plan accordingly.
I allowed a month before IPC expiry and everything worked out nicely.
ComradeRoo,
It is great. Thank you very much for your information.
Definitely I will check FSC Training.
PM will be sent to you soon, CamradeRoo. I have a few questions for this.
