Darkroomsource - That’s good to know that about the UK.
I know the situation is different in other countries like in Africa. I had a student in the US from Nigeria and took a look in his local license.
I’m familiar with my political restrictions…it’s not the travelling as it is also job opportunities (Emirats, etc.)
MarkerInbound - Thanks again for aiming at my state of mind, as I'm familiar with the reg's but not always aware of possible pitfalls...
In other words, any Sim will do for IR currency (any that represent a land airplane, per my licenses).
As for my second question – I know major airlines do not require such thing, but thought It might be slightly different as for GA, or similar to what ‘Darkroomsource’ mentioned – paperwork…
Funny that the first time I heard about the Chicago convention was just recently during my EASA ATPL Theory studying…Nonetheless, it makes perfect sense.
Thank you very much guys!
