Renewal of A320 rating? Help please
 

Gents,

I used to fly the A320/321 in the UK on a CAA ATPL but have let the rating lapse since flying the A340 for the last 8 years. I'd like to renew it but am unsure of how to do it. Would someone kindly help me by advising the best and / or cheapest way of doing this please?

For info; I now have a JAA ATPL.

cheers in advance

As it has expired by more than five years, the British CAA will need your details to assess what it is they want you to do to re-activate the rating. As you have been Airbussing meantime, you might get away with just an LPC. Allow three hours sim for the test; less than that looks a bit suspicious.

Have a look on http://www.caa.co.uk/

Good luck.

Thanks fantom :)

Much appreciated

More help please....
 

Back again for more assistance please. After five years without renewal, but flying the A330 and A340, i still have to;

a. "Complete type technical training and obtain a pass the ground exam in accordance with the TRTO/ FTO approval."

Does anyone know where I can 'pass' this exam without paying loads of money and minimal hassle?

I live in the UAE, so a contact address near here would be wonderul.

Thanks again :)

Surely you only have to CCQ your rating back to A320 from the 330/340?
Is this not how your got your 330/340 rating in the first place?
I would think it should surely be a reverse process, as it is not as if you were flying Boeings or MD's for example.
