For ICAO to EASA you need 500 hours on Cessna 525
It often happens that a pilot has an extensive type-related experience in non-EASA (for example, an FAA license valid on aircraft registered in the USA) and wants to get the Cessna 525 type rating in to his EASA license.
Valid and endorsed Cessna 525 type rating in a licence issued by a third country may be inserted in a licence issued in accordance with Annex I (Part-FCL) to Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 provided you meet the requirements of Section 4, Article 10 of Part FCL and meet following:
- compliance with the experience requirements and the prerequisites for the issue of the Cessna 525 typerating in accordance with Part-FCL;
- passes the relevant skill test for the issue of the applicable type or class rating in accordance with Part-FCL;
- is in current flying practice;
- as no less than 500 hours of flight experience as a pilot in variants representing Cessna 525.
If you meet all these pre-requisites, the last step is to attend the checkride with an EASA Examiner - so-called skill test with a TRE Cessna 525 type.
