Hiller......that sounds v reasonable initially but what happens if you are current on some of these types but dont have type ratings on your CAA licence . For instance i have 206, 500, Gazelle on my UK licence but have many hrs and am current on 480, 206L and 109 . Can i do my check on one of these or do i need to do a full type rating on all of them even if i have 100,s of hrs already ?? what are you supposed to do for 5 hrs training ....this could mean 20-30 hrs training for pilots who are already current and would be prohibitively expensive .
