The guys said that the licence would not be valid in the UK and the 1500hrs would not count as you will not have done a UK MEIR.
An FAA licence is valid in the UK if you are flying an N. I also remeber seeing someone on here saying they had written to the CAA and they had stated that if he held an FAA ME he was entitled to fly a G Reg multi in the UK.
Having said that how can the CAA state that multi hours built abroad do not count towards TT?
Interestingly if you look at the extract below taken from the Rainbow website
The course will include:
....
The following FAA certificates and ratings: PPL-A; IR-A; CPL-SE/ME; CFI; CFII; MEI; 135 LOA (at 1200 hrs); ATPL.
The following JAA certificates and ratings: PPL-A; Cessna Citation Rating; ATPL
.....
You do not progress beyond a JAA-A PPL however you will also leave with a JAA Cessna Citiation Rating.
Can anyone elaborate how this can be achieved as I would have thought that a JAA ME would be a pre-requisite of the Type rating? Maybe someone who is on the course at the moment?
