Hello all,

Would anybody be able to recommend a Simulator centre (A320) in the UK (or Europe, but preferably UK because my license is a UK JAA CPL) where I might be able to perform an LST to unfreeze my ATPL?

I fulfill all the hours requirements as per "LASORS".

But perhaps more importantly would anyone be able to first clarify that I will in factbe allowed to perform an LST for the purpose of unfreezing my ATPL even though I just did a OPC 3 weeks ago (my next 'official' LPC isn't due until April 2010)?

If so, am I correct in assuming that a 1 hour sim session would suffice? I understand that I must fulfill all the 'usual' proficiency check requirements in JAR FCL 1.240 & 1.295 as well as a raw data ILS manually flown. Is that approximately correct?

In case you're wondering why I don't just wait until my next LPC in April, I cannot do this as I'm a contract pilot and my contract will finish in a few weeks! :)

So, to summise:
Can I perform an LPC in this 'out of sequence' manner or must I wait until next year? If so;
What is the miminum time I would need in the simulator to do this?
Where can I do it?Happy landings,

John.
