Hi,

I got a single but HUGE problem.
I did my type rating according to JAA,i have JAA licence and filled up the LST for as well,but don't have a base trainig yet.
I would like to know if someone knows any TRI(A)for my circuits.The company ill be employed for is in Middle east and they have their own aircrafts,but they don't have any JAA approved one for doing my circuits on 767...
They are more worried about me to get the local licence only so i have to look after my JAA.
So don't know what to do in this case.
Otherwise the money paid to them will be gone if they kick me out and will be without any type rating. :(
I also have heard that normally if you have +500 hours on type you can go straight to DGCA to get your Type on your JAA,but not sure about this,anyone can confirm?

I might do the base training or not,don't know coz they follow the FAA rules...so if they make me do with a FAA or ICAO one,that will not be valid for my JAA until 500 hours on type,isn't it?
This local licence will be only valid until i work for them,so it's only a TEMPORARY LICENCE...i need to know a way to get it for my JAA.

Either hire a JAA TRI(A),but i don't know anyone.
Else wait to have 500hours on type,which i don't know what they will do with me!
No ZFT for me,don't have the enough experience for that.

Any help would be appreciated,

Cheers...
