737 type rating currency
Hi All,
I was just wondering...
A) If one self funds a 737 type rating how long before you have to think about acting to keep it current?
B) What do you need to do to keep it current whilst looking for a job?
c) and MOST importantly at what sort of cost??
Many thanks

737 type Rating
Hi Aerofoil,
My understanding from Lasors is that the rating is valid for 12 months and you can revalidate by doing a proficiency check within the three months preceding the date of expiry. However you also require 10 sectors flying experience and if you dont have this then you have to do one sector with a CAA examiner. This can be part of the profeciency test.
I am posting the link to Lasors and the section you require is F4.
Regards

B737 Rating With 100hrs on type....
Hi all
I'm just trying to gauge everyones view, preferably those who are actively within airline recruitment, of guy/gals with a 737 rating and 100hrs on type's likelyhood of gaining employment in the uk of lets say within 6 months of having this experience? I am not trying to start another debate on whether paying for a rating or hours is right or wrong, i and i am sure others are purely interested in informed peoples views on the likelyhood of employment within 6 months in the uk of gaining this experience.
Many thanks in advance

I'd give you a chance of 4-5%.
If you were talking turboprop I would give you a higher chance.
It also depends a bit on your overall experience. If you have heavy experience apart from those 100 hrs, that will make things different but I guess were talking 250 hrs light planes of which 15 hrs are ME and no multi crew experience? In that case you have my answer at the top...

If you were willing to leave the UK with your B737 and a 100hrs , your odds are much higher. Probably around 80%.
