Type rating conversion

[JAFI]

Question for you guys and gals about SIC types. I have a signed 8710 from the DE for a SIC type. Is there any truth to having to get one take off and landing in the actual aircraft, before they (FAA) will issue a Temporary certificate?

Why is a DE signing an 8710 and giving it back to you?

If they are authorized to issue a type they should send in the 8710 to their FSDO for processing.

No, I got my temporary right away.

Is proof of recurrent training in the sim for a foreign airline and a sign off on an 8710 enough for an SIC type or does it have to be proof of the initial type rating training?
