You are indeed right, it does say that in the FCL.. one less checkride to do
but.. please run that past the ATO and the Austro Control and get it on writing they will accept that option. EASA, to put it bluntly, is like George Orwells “ Animal Farm”.. all countries are equal, but some are more equal than others. Each country will have some minor understanding or difference thereof and not let you do some stuff, despite it in writing (and Law like EASA rules are)
You will also have to get the Chief FI at the ATO to agree to same interpretation, for above reasons too.
True, all this makes no sense, but cover your bases before sitting in front of an examiner and getting denied the skill test as you dont “fulfill requirements”
Good luck,
from a dual ATP guy, faa and easa
