As the topic header suggests, can anyone in the know indicate what credit would be given to someone who holds a foreign CPL, multi engine IFR rating (or for that matter even a foreign ATPL). The JAA website indicates that credit may be given, but does not elaborate. Also, I cannot find what requirements are for multi IFR/CPL, i.e. does it stipulate X amount of dual is required as well as passing a flight test.
Would it not be crazy for someone with hundreds of multi IFR time to have to be forced to undertake hours and hours of dual training just to meet some bureaucratic requirement ? Sitting a written exam and passing a flight test check ride surely would suffice ??
Maybe it is - that's why I ask the question !
