Good evening all,
I was wondering if there is anyone on this thread involved with the training department who would be happy to answer a question I have?
Currently busy with the application process BA Long Haul and will do my Capacity test soon. I am eligible to apply under the “ Hold an EASA ATPL licence and meet the “Third Country CPL and ATPL licence conversion requirements” set out by the UK CAA (route 3, 4, 5 or 6).” I had a U.K. licence before.
As it wasn’t clear in the application section, my question is this: If successful, do I need to convert to a U.K. CAA Licence before the Type Rating start date or is the BA training, type rating and skill test used to “open” my U.K. licence? The CAA guidance isn’t really that clear. The reason I am asking is because if I have to pay for for a sim slot on my current type, to convert to a UK licence via UK examiner LST, it’s going to be eye watering.
Very long winded, sorry. Happy to also take a PM so as not to clog up the discussion here.
thank you
