Yes I understand the 6mths/2 yrs as far as pure or general experience goes - that's always been there; my query is the 6mths/yrs on a SPECIFIC AIRCRAFT/ROTORCRAFT TYPE. This has only came about in the last decade or two. I believe if a Type Course has been completed for the grant of an initial rating, then that is suffice to fulfil the experience requirement. My query was, would a short refresher course, as some Engineers do as part of their on-going training an/or company requirements, be suffice to count as 6mths/2yrs experience on TYPE?
