FAA Type rating into a JAA Licence

Hi , folks!!

I was wondering about the process involved regarding a transfer of a FAA Type rating into a JAA licence?

Thanks .

According to Lasors 2005, to convert a foreign t/r endorsement to a UK issued license ;
-500hrs on type (as P1 or P2 appropriate to the rating required, PUT time may not be counted)
-Operational experience as pilot on type in the preceding 5 years.
-Pass a proficieny check on type

If you don't have 500 hrs on type the CAA say that they "may consider a reduction in the amount of training required to take account of previous experience on type, subject to a recommendation in writing by the head of training".

Hope this helps (btw, I'd certainly recommend buying a copy of LASORS, its definately worth the money)
