Any of you guys on the A-net Dash 8 contract like to share some info on the type rating.
I'm holding a JAR ATPL but no Dash 8 rating and wonder if there is anyone who got the Q400 in their JAR licence? Any chance of getting a JAA checkman to tag along while doing the JCAB checkride?
Many thanks for the help.

Prince,

All I know is that it hasn't been done. I would be very surprised if the Japanese allowed it - they would probably make you pay for the sim, that's how cheap they are.

Not sure how this would be arranged. Having a JCAB checker and a JAA checker in the same checkride.

Who would decide what profile you would fly?

If you fail one ride, do you then fail the other?

I'd try and arrange for a ride the following day (yes, expect to pay for it - don't expect it to be free) for your JAA type.

Good luck

Jet,
That was my plan. All depends on if the TRTO has any JAA checkmen and are willing to ($$) and if my own CAA will accept that TRTO and respective checkman.

Worth a shot anyway:ok:
