212 Type Rating
Hi All
I'm after some advice. Im a UK military pilot just about to leave and am jumping through the (many) JAA hoops to get my licence.
Im currently flying 212's which are civilian owned and military operated.
Current CAA/Mod agreements state that to get a miliary type rating endorsed on the licence you have to have 500hrs on type AND a current check ride in the last 12 months.
I currently have 420hrs on 212's and it looks like I will not be able to get a type rating unless I go and do a civllian type rating course. Lots of money me thinks!!!.
I did my initial conversion with a Bristows instructor(they suppy the contract) but my final check ride on the conversion was with a non CAA military QHI.
Has anyone one been in this situation before or knows a way round it?
Thanks.
