Here's one for you then ...
Can you count sim multi crew time towards the 500 hours of multi crew time required for the issue of a JAA ATPL?
In my case I have all the hours requirements for the issue of the ATPL except for the multi crew, I've got more single crew multi piston hours than a bull can sh!t and my employer is keen for me to get my full ATPL issued so I can crack on with the command upgrade on the turboprop I presently fly. I've still got to get another couple hundred of multi crew in the aircraft, but if I count the initial MCC course / aircraft type rating sim training etc, then that would help a lot.
You reckon the CAA would go for it?
