GCAA Type minimums
For those of us that aspire to operate in and around the Emirate(s), what are the A/C minimum hours on type considered necessary to get a GCAA validation based on foreign licences/certificates? Looking for feedback on types of less than 5700kg. Eg, C550, B100/200, C441, AC650. Is there a mandated minimum hour on type required before the GCAA will look at an application?
Cheers,

I know of one guy getting a gig on a B-732 with 250 hrs TT and another one with similar time getting a job on a HS-125 here in UAE.
That's been a few years ago, but dont think anything has changed so far.
But to my knowledge you can only get a validation through an operator, a private person cant get a validation on a CPL or ATPL. What's new: Validation are only issued by GCAA after obtaining your residence visa.
So I believe it does'nt depend on GCAA, it depends on your employer, how many hours you will need.

To my knowledge, you do no need to have any time in type for license validation. I had Zero time in type and it was not an issue but then again my/our training was done in the States by a GCAA approved school and instructors.
