How is it there? Melu

 

course to be CAAC certified and long way to go as expat CA in China.

typical CA minis for Chinese operatos:

300-500 hours PIC on type A318/319/320/321
Currency in type within 6-15 months
3,000-4,000 total flight hours
ICAO ATPL and type rating without limitation

just do not hang on a wrong tree..

Howdy All,

Yep this is correct, if you want to go to China you need to go thru a huge medical as well, kinda nuts overthere, they check everything, age is limited to 55 (to enter) 60 is retirement.

You will have to go thru the Chinese ATPL written exam (very similar to the FAA ATR written), you could fail this exam and rewrite 28 days later, the main thing is the medical, you pass that and your in (if pre selected with all the expat minimums), once you ATPL exam is passed CAAC must validate your licence with your corresponding aviation office ex FAA, Transport Canada, etc, once this is done ok, SIM checkride can be book, the process can take a few months easy.

Most expat candidates will go 2-3 times to China, VISA, letters to be notarized by China Embassy etc is really a pain but you have no choice.

One very important thing to remember is if you apply to a Chinese airlines and they do invite you for the Medical and written exam, your are stuck with them, if you desire to go apply to a different outfit in China you will need a no objection letter from the first airline, they never give to you or very rarely.

 

Just curious if anyone has heard of these airlines hiring a pilot that is not current and qualified on the A320?? I have about 10000tt of which 3000 is on a320 with 2000 as PIC International.

 

I am pretty sure China is like most other countries.
You have to be current and qualified within the previous 12 months for the certificate validation process.

 

Out of these two, Starflyer doesn't have the dreaded "within blah,blah" on it but I would recommend to post your application regardless because all these jobs are experiencing a reduction in applicants. They might be willing to start looking at non current guys depending on their overall experience. Good luck
