I'm checking my mailbox hourly, because my PPL license is scheduled to arrive any day now, yippee so far. In case I'd like to get type rating for another heli (the PPL's H269 is somewhat limited with regards to passengers)
- is it sufficient to grab a FI, rent someone's heli and do a couple hours
- has the FI to be a FE for that type, too
- is it mandatory to sign up with an FTO for any kinf of TR
This EASA FCL-Part specific, regard acquiring a new TR.
Are there differences with regard to the transition I'd be doing?
Something along that lines of
H269 -> R22 FI is sufficient
H269 -> Bell47G (different engine) FI + theoretical exam (oral? written?)
H269 -> Bell206 "only FTOs can supply a turbine rating"
H269 -> BO105 multi engine + turbine = totally different
Has anyone got a link into that huge EASA website explaining TR aquisition requirements?
TIA
Peter.
edit: I found JAR-FCL dated requirements that state a FTO or TRTO as required for theroretical training, hence I'd guess one simply shows up at the FTO and enrolls for a TR. Could be Difference Trainings or plain Familiarisations are simpler to organize.
