Where does this "operator" thing come from?
Article 4.1(b) states that the Regulation applies to personnel involved in the operation of aircraft
"registered in a third country, or registered in a Member State which has delegated their regulatory safety oversight to a third country, and used by a third-country operator into, within or out of the Community"
So at worst all i need to convert isnt my ATP to an ATP but for EASA purposes a PPL IR.
But, to add a MPA type rating to an EASA PPL, you will need to have passed the ATPL exams, so what's the advantage?
