Bomber ARIS,
The section of UK CAA CAP 804 which covers the 'Acceptance of Class and Type Ratings' says for a type rating issued by a third country to be inserted into your Part-FCL Licence you need:
- to meet the experience requirements for the rating
- pass the relevant skills test
- be in current flying practice
- have 350 hours in that type (for a large twin helicopter)
This suggests that you do need a flight test (they call it a skills test).
