3) If Bell 212/412 SP already on license, does this negate the need to do the type rating as part of the course (and therefore reduce the total cost)? Or would it just be cheaper to do the type rating + IR on 355/135 etc.?
4) With more than 3 years having passed since last ATPL exam completed, am I correct in saying that I need to resit 5 IR exams? Do I need to be signed off by an ATO to sit these (as was the case for the ATPL exams)? Or given I've already satisfied the training requirement when sitting ATPL exams, can I just sit the IR exams without having to go through an ATO?
5) ATPL exams were all done in UK. Can anyone recommend a country / authority for sitting the required IR(H) exams post Brexit?
Thank you.
1.Starspeed, Babcock , Castle air or Helicopter services ? yes FAA IR will work out cheaper
2. no idea
3. Would be far cheaper to do a new type rating on a light twin ex.. 135 or 355 > second twin 3 hours
4. Yes they have expired and you need to resit them, but you can self certify to sit them.
5. doesn't matter where you sit them , cost higher in the UK
