Credit towards MCC-course
Would appreciate if anyone had some info about how to go about getting previous experience credited towards a full MCC-Course.
I'm in the process of doing my JAA ATPL exams, but I have 3800 TT, Lear-typerating and 1600+ in Learjets (N-reg and FAA ATP)
Thanks

Well I hope I can help,
A few years ago I got my MCC by calling LFV in Sweden (where I have a CPL from) and asking them. They told me to get a letter from my chief pilot (where I worked in the states)verifying that 1) I was currently flying a multi-pilot aircraft (at the time a SAAB 340), 2) had more than 500 hours in that configuration, and also making acopy of my logbook confirming that as well. a bunch of money (but less than had I taken the course) later I had my MCC.
I also did the same thing for a CPL licence renewal and co-pilot SAAB 340 type-rating after my initial type checkride.
Good Luck,
Catans

I was almost in the same shoes you are when I returned to Norway from the states last year. Had 3800 hours, 2700 Learjet and FAA ATP. I did not have to show any form of paper confirming a MCC course. The hours and experience was good enough.
The rule is you dont need MCC course if you have 500+ hours in multi crew airplane.

Just for info, I have a friend (also from Gothenburg) who just finished his conversion. He did his written tests in sweden and then the swedish CAA sent an examiner over to Dallas where he did the checkride in the Learjet sim.
He did a FAA recurrent on the Lear and then added a extra day to do the JAA checkride with the swedish examiner in the back. Not a bad way to get the conversion done. And you end up with a JAA Learjet type also. So that's a bonus. Just something to think about.
