JAA ME/IR????
 

Does anyone know why since JAR-ops have been implemented we have to do an ME/IR before we can do a MP typerating???

I personally find this a load of moneycosting crap!

I have a 737 type on my german ATPL but to get this on my dutch JAA SE/IR license i have to get an ME/IR first(costing me 5000 euro)!

Why??
Does anyone have a way around this???

Just wait untill germany finaly gets JAR FCL, then you don´t need the dutch license any more...

True! But that will still take a LONG time.They have been talking about becoming JAR for a long time now, and before it is finally adopted into german law will take at least till half next year. This due to VERY SLOW government processes in germany.

So I am wondering If there is a way way of getting a type on a dutch JAA/SE-IR license without getting a ME/IR first. It is offcourse utter stupidity for me to go and do an ME on a seneca when i am current on 737.

Is it for example possible to do a JAA Type/ME/IR in one sim check?
So if anyone's got any clue please enlighten me!!!

Ehhh this may sound stupid, but couldn`t you just get a JAA examiner on jumpseat on one of your flights?The 737 is a multiengine aircraft and you fly under instrument flight rules, and you`re current on the 737...
Probably won`t work though... it would make too much sense:confused:

Have you tried asking JAA? www.jaa.nl

Freak - I doubt the passengers will enjoy it when the examiner reaches forward to yank one of the throttles for the asymmetric thrust section.

Nice idea though....

Not to mention the PFL :D :D :D

Well thanks for the innovative idea!;-)

I can do a profcheck or examination on a 737 sim. But the JAR state you have to have a valid ME/IR before you can get the typerating. I guess the simcheck doesnt count as ME/IR check.

Has anybody had a simular experience??

Thanks for your reply, but the next problem is that i have 1100 hrs 737 and not the 1500 MP required to get a validation of a non JAR country and regretfully germany is, according to law ,still one!
