why not put it on the n reg ? Regarding type ratings and examiners being hard to find , the great thing with the FAA license is that i can do my check ride ( every TWO years ) and i can be signed off by an instructor who has never even been in my type of helicopter !! I really think i would give up most of my flying if i had to have a type rating for each aircraft ....i only have about 7 or 8 types that i regularly fly but even that would be a real headache !!! .....
and very expensive and completely unnecessary .
