Ahhhh.... the old JAA v's ICAO again.

Mortennb, forget the JAA system for a type rating. They will bleed you dry with over inflated requirements and your pockets will be left empty.

I am not familiar with the FAA system but another route may be to go to Aus, apply for a "Special licence" (very easy) and this allows you to receive training while in Australia. The Aus regs state for your first turbine endorsement (type rating) you must do 5 hours of DUAL instruction with an instructor or approved person. Any other turbine endorsement after that will only require 3 hours as long as the aircraft is below 2750kg. Let me state that these requirements are for singles. Multi engine machines are a little different.

For what its worth.....
