JAR EC130 Type Rating

[Bath]

I off to the PUB for a JAR right now!

I know Heliair based at Denham UK; can do a type on the EC120 if that's any help?

So how much do Eurocopter want for the endorsement?

[notar]

17,000 Euros for 5 days ground school and 3.5 hrs flying in our own aircraft.

notar, are you sure about it? I remember that my company paid a lot less for my training, something around 13.000€ but it was back in 2005.

Hi Notar

I looked on Helihollands web site, they charge €1300 per hour for the 130 (Charter) I dont know what they charge for training & ground school.

Im not sure if in Holland they will reduce the standard 5 hour conversion to 3 hours like in the UK, they never use too but even at 5 hours flight training it should be about 1/2 what Eurocopter have quated.

On another matter I would advise if your going to go to a foreign FTO/TRTO check with the CAA that they will except there type rating training etc for licence issue.
