It is my understanding that new regulations have been put into place were foreign citizens can no longer receive training for a type rating in the USA for a large aircraft or turbine/jet powered aircraft. That correct?
That effectively put a lid on my career.
That is, if its true. The only exception is, or so i understand, that you already own a type rating.
Question.
I think it costs an average of 20.000,- USD for a type rating here in the US. Right? How much do they cost in Europe? I was thinking of getting a type rating in a Fairchild Metro 23 or a bigger King Air type or so, one that is very cheap to operate (maybe you have some suggestions). Or maybe just do one in a simulator. Should be fairly cheap also. That is, as soon as i'm that far in my training. But i like to think ahead
Anyhow, lets say i have a US issued Certificate. Can i even take that certificate and go to Europe and train for a rating, or do i have to have local certificates issued by the local regulating body?
How does that work?
Thanks for any input!
