TTMRA clarification. Post-issue add ons
Hi All
I am trying to get clarity on something that I cannot seems to find in previous threads. I've printed off the mountains of paperwork to convert my NZ Cpl & MEIR (current) to CASA under TTMRA. However, I am thinking of doing an instructors rating in the not too distant future here in NZ. If I go ahead now and submit the conversion application, can I add on the instructor's rating at a later date? I have heard conflicting thoughts on the matter.
As per the the TTMRA document, all that is states is this:
Instrument and Flight Instructor Ratings
Current instrument ratings and flight instructor ratings (except for Cat D & E ratings) may be
transferred under the TTMRA Act.
Once issued, to continue to exercise the privileges of the CIR in Australia, you must renew
annually. The instructor rating must be renewed biennially (except for initial issue under the
TTMRA). Failure to renew a pilot’s Australian CIR after a period of 1 year will result in the pilot
having to sit and pass the Australian Theory component (IREX) exam and undergo a flight test
conducted to initial issue standard with an approved person (ATO or CASA FOI).
A penny for your thoughts.
Thanks.
