FAA ATP to JAA ATP(L)(H) ?

Hi,

I have been thinking about converting my FAA ATP to JAA ATPL. I think the best route for me is to go the 1,500tt and 500 hours of multi-crew time which I have in jets, the 14 exams, a type rating and ATPL skills test. Can the type rating and skills test be combined in one check ride? Can everything be done in a simulator? Are there any cheap type ratings in the UK?

As an added twist I hold a FAA commercial and instrument in helicopters, (300 hrs heli). Could I do an ATPH and get typed in say a S76 or A109 and get a full ATPH or would it be a frozen ATPH? I rather avoid getting a CPLH and then an IR(H).

Or is the best path is to do a FW ATPL and then somehow add on the ATPH?

I appreciate your input.

Thanks Guy/Gals.
