Hey Everyone,
I dunno if this question or anything similar was posted earlier. Atleast i didn't find it.
Just recently, I got my Basic License from UK CAA and they turned down my Type rating application for the following reason -
"The structured OJT evidence for the first type rating has not been submitted and does not comply with EU Commission Regulation 1149/2011."
Well the funny thing is I did submit my OJT logbook. It was done by a Greece institute which is a Part 147 approved organization. All the entries of the logbook were signed by the approved assessor and the logbook complies very much with the Part 66 & Part 147 standards.
The only glitch is that the OJT was not conducted in a Part 145 approved maintenance organization but was conducted in an CAR 145 Organization (India DGCA Standard).
But i dont think that should matter cuz the 1149/2011 regulation was issued in AUG 2012 and is effective from AUG 2013. Any Type course completed prior to the applicable date is 'Grandfathered'. In that case the newly induced "Structured OJT" for the first type rating is not required. My OJT was done in the month of JAN 2011, so a normal OJT which was approved back then should suffice. If Im not mistaken.
Does UK CAA accept/recognize Greece credentials?
Kindly help me in this matter as to whether I am wrong or not. If I am right, what is the best way to appeal to them?
Tried calling them. but the guy on the phone said I should e-mail to eldweb. Tried emailing but didnt get any response till now.
HELP!!!
