In regards to the second half of your post, I thought you could get the L300 type rating added at commercial privilege level with just paperwork, no sims, no checkrides just present your Air Force training records.
Correct on not needing a checkride for the L-300 (just checkride proof and PIC time) to add the type and there's ongoing discussion here whether it will be ATP or commercial privileges--not sure it really matters in my case so either way is fine with me.
Thanks for the english endorsement link earlier in the thread. I read the info and my certificate is dated 2007 so it has never been updated with this which is apparently required for ICAO intl ops as of the 2008 timeframe. Will get it done by mail and get the type added next time I do my CFI at the next FSDO I visit after my final military move. Can't wait to run another gauntlet to find the building and crack the code to get in the front door.
Another question--how painful is it to add SEL privileges to my CFI. I just have MEL so imagine I need to pass a checkride in SE plane after getting some dual instruction and solo time practicing the standards...then find a designated examiner? My sons want to learn to fly and I'd like to be able to do some of it.
Edit--FAA checkride was for initial ATP/type rating in a learjet--L-300 type rating was earned years later.
