As the neverending story seems to be a real story without an end-maybe you can help me out on this one:
The German CAA (LBA) refuses to recognise my flight hours towards my JAR-FCL ATPL(H), as my multi-pilot-helicopter flight hours have not been flown on JAR-registered helicopters...
The basics:
-FAA ATPL(H)
-JAR-FCL CPL(H) IR with FI(H)
Ex-military pilot, 4000 hours total, more than 1000 PIC on MPH.
The German CAA argues that:
-according to JAR-FCL, military flight time does not count towards any civil license (only for the issue of a "conversion" on basis of an agreement between the military and the CAA-not applicable to my case).
-according to JAR-FCL, i (officially) never passed a multi-pilot-helicopter checkride (the wrong form has been used: SPH instead of MPH-not correctable any more), so i could not have collected the 1000 hours PIC on MPH, as i never ever held a MPH-rating.
-all other hours (on non-JAR-registered helicopters) would not count towards my JAR-FCL ATPL(H).
Any comments (other than "the German CAA sucks"?)
I passed the theoretical exams for the issue of an ATPL(H) IR, i have MCC.
