Hi guys, I am seeking for information & advice.

I am now considering to try Airbus type rating in US, based on foreign country license.
My license is CPL/multi with Instrument rating.(ICAO country)

I don't have Airbus experience but I have some type rating on my CPL.
I think I meet US ATP requirement.

#1 Can I join US Airbus type rating course directly based on my license?
OR
Should I get US ATP(multi) before joining US type rating course?

#2 Part61.157(g)
There are requirement when we use SIM for type training.
At (g)-(3)-(ii), there are requirement for flight experience...
Does "Hold type rating" include "foreign type rating"?

I am happy if you could give me good advice.
