... Just thought - from the CAA website in the licencing bit is all the JAR FCL stuff
(
http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?ca...90&pageid=7231), which says this amongst other stuff:
At the discretion of the Authority, an aeroplane class or type rating may be issued to an applicant who meets the requirements for that rating of a non-JAA State, provided JAR–FCL 1.250, 1.255 or 1.260 as applicable, are met. Such a rating will be restricted to aeroplanes registered in that non-JAA State, or operated by an operator of that non-JAA State. The restriction may be removed when the holder has completed at least 500 hours of flight as a pilot on thetype/class and complied with the revalidation requirements of JAR–FCL 1.245, and if applicable JAR-FCL 1.251.
Might be missing something (haven't got the will to read all those FCL paras!) but I reckon you'd need 500 multi hours with VH registered aircraft to convert, so no saving there then!
