New aircraft types
How does one satisfy the experience requirement for engineering licences when a new aircraft type is introduced into service?
Ordinarily for a B1/2 you would need 6 months on type before being granted your licence but you wouldn't be able to get your 6 months because there aren't any.
Again, if a company was to operate a new type of aircraft (already in service with other airlines) and they had a large engineering force they are likely to send their people on courses. They still wouldn't have 6 months experience though. The company would not necessarily want to bring in new employees (even if they could get hold of them).
How do you get around this?
Thanks,
