Hi Elmo

In NZ land it won’t make any difference to your IR (H) SP or MP ratings if you have those type ratings on your NZ licence or not.
The long and the short of it is that if there are none of those types on the NZ register then there is no benefit to have them on your licence, if that type were to be put on the register at some stage in the future it is a very simple process to transfer your EASA type rating to NZ licence.
As far as the SP/ MP ratings go, there are none for Heli’s in NZ.
You get tested to single pilot or two pilot standard when you do your IR flight test.
If you are going to fly in NZ IFR there is no getting away from doing a type rating on a type that is used for IFR in NZ.
You may get away with doing just a NZ law exam for ATPL if you can prove you have 500 hrs or more of ATPL time ( PIC in a multi crew).
If not it will be a flight test for IR first then a ATPL flight test.
It’s buried in the ACs on the NZCAA website but think I have basicly right.
Looking on the bright side it will be a lot easier to convert from EASA to NZ than the other way around.
