Jiggy:
I am facing the same problem in India. Just started

The link u posted is only for fixed wing pilots and has recently come into place. And yes it is allowed for the fixed wing guys. The regulation for helicopters is in paragraph 4 of
http://dgca.nic.in/cars/D7B-B10.pdf
To my interpretation all these requirements are to fly more then one type in a single duty cycle. Consider a case a guy like me has been flying R44 and has 800hrs on it and today i get rated on a 206, this means tomorrow i can't fly an R44 till i get 2000hrs!!! How can that ever make sense!!
I am to take this up with the regulatory authority here but i would be highly thankful if u guys can give me leads to related regulations of ICAO, FAA, JAA, EASA, TC, CASA which i can carry as documents supporting the cause.
Thank you all!
