Hi hueyracer
Many thanks for the reply. From what you describe it sounds like EASA is still the same as old JAR-OPS 3 with regards to the timing of checks.
It also seems that it is necessary under EASA to swap seats (as well as doing additional training) on alternate OPCs if you fly from both seats. I can see how that would work nicely on a single type
Every 6 months:
- OPC/LPC (right seat)
- OPC (left seat)
- OPC/LPC (right seat)
- OPC (left seat)
I'm curious how it works when you throw a second type into the mix. If you alternate seats every 6 months you are always in the same seat on a particular type.
Every 6 months:
- OPC/LPC on 1st type (right seat)
- OPC/LPC on 2nd type (left seat)
- OPC/LPC on 1st type (right seat)
- OPC/LPC on 2nd type (left seat)
Or, if you make sure you alternate on each type:
- OPC/LPC on 1st type (right seat)
- OPC/LPC on 2nd type (right seat)
- OPC/LPC on 1st type (left seat)
- OPC/LPC on 2nd type (left seat)
Or is the only option to not combine OPC/LPC?
I hope that makes sense!
