Typed but not current, initial school or not?
Hi guys, first post here.
I'm current in the jet I'm presently flying, but not current in the specific plane the owners are interested in buying. It's been 6 years since I've flow this newer plane, I am Typed in the plane and I have 13 years experience in this plane with 135 check rides every one of those 13 years. My Type is for a different model than the newer model and the Type rating covers both models. I have all the manuals in hand to study before school and I think I can do a refresher instead of going through the full initial again. All I really need is some extra time with differences and avionics and I know I can fly the plane in the sim.
The question is this, do I really have to do an initial school instead of going through just a refresher? Is this a Fed's requirement, or something from Flightsafety or the insurance company?
Thanks
