vfr440, thanks for additional infos about your training schedule.
Regarding type training and type examination, please check GM.66.A.45 for Group 2 aircraft. That's all. Nobody stops you to complete a full type training but, as regulation alleviates the requirements for non complex machines, that's helping our job.
Regulators amongst Europe are, as you say, unfortunately not aligned and it's always fair competition between operators that's made difficult. I've experience with Swiss UFAC, Italian ECAC, UK CAA amongst the others and the difference between them are quite evident. But, on my opinion, regulation is regulation and operators must fight to have it applied commonly.
Regarding wine, let's have a taste of Franciacorta Brut then tell me something about. Ciao
