Is there such a thing as a "3h type rating" under the JARs?
Hello,
I recently went to see a flight school in Bulgaria for an ME IR rating and was told that I should do 3 hours of flight training on a PA-44 before I could actually start logging time towards the rating. They tought the 3 hour training requirement on a new type was in the JARs but weren't sure. My previous twin time is on PA-30. Is there actually such a requirement?
Thanks!

As long as you have an MEP rating, and the required hours (TT, PIC, etc), and a Class I audiogram, and whatever else is needed, you're good to go. Perhaps you're a bit short on some of the hours? Those wouldn't need to be done on an MEP aircraft, though.
Incidentally, does this school hire to already qualified pilots? Do you have a price list?

lrv,
details here: http://www.easa.europa.eu/ws_prod/s/...aExclusion.pdf
No new developments that I'm aware of.
Of important note to the OP is the fact that, while the exclusion is obviously geared towards operators, an uninformed reading of the aforementioned regulation appears to suggest that Bulgarian flight crew licences are not recognised under FCL-1.

Unlike SEPs, differences training is required when moving to a MEP variant not previously flown or not current on. Differences training in this case specifically means ground school and flight training. There is no time requirement other than sufficient time to perform the usual routines and cover any notable , errm, differences. I guess it makes sense to separate it from the IR as you'll be doing visual stuff.
Differences training is not the same as a type rating which is not required as the PA4 is variant within a class.
To answer your question, there is no minimum training time requirement for differences training.

If it is JAA approved it should have an approved Training Manual that clearly lays down the pre-entry requirements to any approved training course.
As stated there is no such requirement.

JAR-FCL 1.235
(c) Variants. If the variant has not been
flown within a period of 2 years following the
differences training, further differences training
or a proficiency check in that variant will be
required except for types or variants within the
SEP class rating.
(1) Differences training requires
additional knowledge and training on an
appropriate training device or the aeroplane.
The differences training shall be
entered in the pilot’s logbook or equivalent
document and signed by a CRI/TRI/SFI(A) or
FI(A) as appropriate.
(2) Familiarisation training requires
the acquisition of additional knowledge.
