How does a PRIVATE ops f/o upgrade to Captain?
I would like to know what is required,
disregarding insurance difficulties.
I have a full UK ATPL. My type
rating says NIL restrictions next to it and the CAA says as far as they are concerned I could fly left. However, all my LPCs have been in the right seat. I have over 1000hrs on type and a lot of PIC time in other types.
Now if an employer (private ops only, M registration) wants to upgrade me what is required? I know common sense will say fly with TRI in right seat for 25 sectors or so, but could this be done with just a normal line captain?
If anyone can shed some light on this I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
I would say when you have gained suitable experience and been recommended for an upgrade by your management , then complete a suitable training programme, just because you have an ATPL doesn't mean your ready.
