So if FAA licence is not accepted then I guess the only way forward is to get a type rating on a type that my school in SA can teach on .
What is irritating is that it appears I will then have to do 3 hours ( inc test ) to get back my 206 rating when I have a 505 on my licence ..... which IS a 206 but with Garmin !!! Why every country can’t follow USA system I don’t know 🤦♂️
