Qualifications for Police ASU
Does anybody now if a JAA CPL(H) is suffice for employment as a Pilot in a Police ASU even though they often advertise the need for a JAA/CAA ATPL(H). Have all the Hrs for ATPL including multi-crew time and ATPL theory credits. However, no civilian IR and thus cannot be issued with a full licence. My concern is that a UK CAA ATPL(H) does not require an IR therefore placing me at a disadvantage in comparison with an individual with a UK licence although I would be no more or less qualified than said individual. Reluctant to invest in Helicopter IR as firstly, already spent a small fortune on a fixed wing fATPL and secondly I believe IR not required for police ops. Any advice, info etc greatly received.
