Crikey chaps ! Isn't "Current on type " meaning you are, er, current on type ? You know, "currently" flying the type. Tony, if you were type rated & current 8 years ago, sadly, you are not current on type. Some operators declare "Must be current on type", that does, clearly mean that you are currently flying the type. A "Type Rating" can be on your licence years after you ceased flying that type. It would require a Comp ex to validate that rating to "valid type rating". So, you can wind up with a valid type rating but not current on that type. Crumbs, glad I stayed clear of admin jobs offered to me in the past ! I am currently type rated and "recent" on my Lidle's inflatable with five years home pool experience................awaiting the adverts in the back of Flight Mag !
