As I understand (please correct me if I'm wrong), if you hold an FAA licence you are not required to do a Type Rating on each individual aircraft, but instead you are limited to anything below a certain weight regardless of whether it is piston, turbine, single or twin.
So in effect, you can fly and log time anything you like below a certain weight.
Firstly, is this true?
Secondly, what are peoples thoughts on converting a JAR licence to an FAA licence in order to log time on various types without paying bucket loads of cash for Type Rating on each aircraft?
I fly a few different types with the owners but can't log the time even as training because none of them are instructors, and it's never to a licenced airfield. So I thought if I got an FAA licence it may solve this problem!?
Advice on this would be appreciated :confused:
