Type-rating revalidation
I have a UK JAA PPL(H) with Enstrom and 269C type-ratings which are coming up for renewal in September. I have a couple of questions that hopefully someone can help me with:
i) My type-ratings are valid for only one year, is that normal for helicopter type-ratings? I believe that fixed-wing are valid for two years, why the difference?
ii) Can I get them revalidated in any JAA state? I heard that there were some exceptions, for example Germany (which is naturally my first choice!), but that information is a couple of years old. Anything changed in the mean-time?
Thanks,
