Well, bugger, there goes that idea.
Sorry for all the questions. Wouldn’t my training and time on type in Oz constitute a lot of the aircraft flight training you mention? Might have to look at an abbreviated type rating in the States if I do in fact need one to do the ATP flight test.. I guess at least I could fold the ATP test into the type rating check I imagine.

Figured as much!
