My plan was eventually killed by the UK TRE requirement, so I made another plan. You may well run into the same issue as you might find that all the UK TRE's on the CL65 have pushed off to EASAland and no longer have valid qualifications. In fact, a quick search of the UK CAA data doesn't show any TREs'for the CL65, so getting a sim approval may be a moot point.
Can I ask what was your next plan? I'm in the same boat, being current on the A380 and looking to converting an ICAO ATPL.
With regards to this thread, if you have another unrestricted multi pilot rating on your licence, you could open your UK licence with this rating. If the rating is not current and valid on your licence, you would be required to be assessed for/and receive discretional training at a UK ATO prior to taking the ATPL skill test.
