First up, you need to get your 'old' CAR 5 qualifications updated into the 'brave' new world of Part 61 speak. It's been a while since I looked at it, so apologies for some vagueness, but go to the...

I'd have to check the regs to confirm, but I'm pretty sure the way it works now is you have a NVFR rating and add the appropriate endorsements, A or H. Having one with the associated air experience...

What's going to be less easy to do is shift the architects of the woeful and byzantine new regs out of their entrenched positions, though at least some action is better than none.
