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.

X Rated, Twin Wasp, Thank you for reply!

I took a FAA ATP(single engine rating) license last year, so I passed ATP written test.
I understood I can join directly Airbus type training course. Thank you!!

As concerns Part61.157(g)(3)(ii), there were explanation about “Use of a flight simulator or flight training device for an airplane rating”, until 2010. I’m sorry, now this subject is deleted form Part61.157.
Probably, this subject is moved to Part61.64 “Use of a flight simulator and flight training device.”

Part61.63 is talking about “Type rating other than ATP certificate” so…
I think “ATP type rating requirement” are 3 subjects when we train by Level C/D simulator.
*Part61.153 ATP Eligibility requirements: General.
*Part61.159 Aeronautical experience: Airplane category rating.
*Part61.64 Use of a flight simulator and flight training device.
Is it correct???

I am seeking of Airbus type rating, so… Concerning about Part61.64(a)(2),
Should I meet all requirements from (i) to (v)?
OR
Will it do one of the experience from (i) to (v)?

Part61.64(a)(2)(i), “Hold type rating” means…
Does it include foreign (ICAO country) license type rating?

I have 2000+ flight hours, and 500++ flight hours on 1 business jet & 2 turbo-prop type rating, so I think I meet Part61.41(a)(2)(v).
But…just I would like to know “Hold type rating” means in detail…


I am very glad if you give me further advice!
