ICAO ATPL to EASA ATPL: UPRT certificate
Good morning everyone.
I searched on the forum (and on google) but didn't find anything specific to my question.
I fully converted my licence from a Canadian ATPLto an EASA ATPL on the Jetstream 32. I'm waiting for my licence to be sent at this time and a question come up: do I need the UPRT to apply at an airline?
From my understanding, UPRT is required if you don't have a valid type rating, since I (should) hold a Jetstream 32 type rating I should be exempted but there is nothing in the law that affirm or deny my reasoning.
Why don't you ask the authority you say? Back in August, I asked two times, two differents authorities if I needed to get an MCC because of my experience, both said yes. Once I send the papers to continue the process, guess what? MCC wasn't required at all. 3000€ in the trash.
If anyone went trought the same process, would be glad to have some light! Thanks!
