Pilot to licenced engineer
Just thinking laterally here as I would like to explore the possibility of adding another string to my bow. What are the requirements to be a licenced light aircraft (piston) engineer and what are the different types of licences? Would the holder of a frozen ATPL be given any credits towards the licences? How does one convert from pistons to turbines? What's the market like for the different types of licenced engineers?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Not sure if you'd get any credit for Pilot knowledge.
Starting from scratch you basically need 3 years practical experience before you can take the exams - that's the crippler for people who want to be part time Engineers. (Usually it's aircraft owners who want to avoid the bill that ask this question
)
Not sure if the ab initio courses still run for BCAR licences for aircraft under 5730 kg don't fall into the JAA rules
