Penn,
Converted BCAR LWTR Elec/Inst/Autopilots Aeroplanes/Comb Inst-Autopilot & Radio/Radar.
Have applied for 7 types based on 145 authorisations (pay for max 3). Total with basic conversion = £438
Applied on JAA Form 19C (Transfer of protected rights).
QA Depts of UK airlines/engineering orgs have been sent letters setting out guidelines to make it all less complicated. They have set out a proforma letter for QA to send out. Contact ELD or your QA for further details.
With regard to JAR 66 conversion, my employers have spent a load on sending A & C guys on course. We even contracted two organisations to conduct the training at both main stations for five weeks duration. We have run 3 courses. Offered seats to other airlines/engineering orgs - no joy.
With protected/grandfather rights, conversion courses are a long term service to industry.
