License vs Validations
Hi all you guys,
Maybe this will shed some light on the issue:
1.
Lets try this one again....(cold fingers and all so early on a sunny SA winter morning)
As I was saying:
1. Skaz is correct in saying that you cannot add any type to a validation, only to a license. The SA licencing authority, cannot change (add to or delete from) a foreign license. In the same way, a foreign authority may not change your SA license, byt may issue a validation of that license. That basically means that you need the type on your (foreign) license before you may operate it on a SA validation of that license.
2. To try and get a PPL is still not the answer. You are intending to operate commercially not so? You are not allowed to operate commercially on a PPL. So although you have a PPL and are licensed to fly a LET410 on your PPL, you cannot operate as part of a crew whilst engaged in commercial activities.
3. A logbook is not a license, and in the case of the SACARS, you are only allowed to fly types weighing less than 5700kgs that need not be specified on your license, but are correctly signed out in you logbook. These would typically include all single pistons, most light piston twins etc. Any turbine aircraft (even those weighing less than 12500) and aircraft weighing in excess of 5700kg (12500lbs) have to be specified in your license.
Hope this sheds some more light on a cloudy issue. If you still have questions phone the CAA....
