Hi ,
Bubble's query raises an important point. As has often been mentioned on this forum JAR regulations are not binding on member states but are recommendations which members for the most part seem to adhere to. However, there are some discrepencies between member states e.g.
To commence an initial type rating course the CAA now only require a vaild multi ir within the last five years and JAR FCL 1.250 requires a valid multi IR.
I know of another member state who will accept the multi engine skill test for up to 12 months after completion before adding it to licence whe JAR FCL states the validity period is 6 months.
I believe therfore simply quoting JAR-FCL documents will not always provide the answer to a poster's query, especially if their state for licence issue is other than the CAA.
I would welcome views from Billiebob and Keygrip re the above.
Regards
Willby
