I'm in the final stages of doing the same (FAA PPL off my JAA CPL).
Contact Steve Papi at
WillowAir.
It involves:
- Paying the CAA £42 to agree to confirm that you have a licence
- Sending a form to the FAA (no charge) - who will make checks with CAA. Once done they will send you a "Letter of Authorisation"
- Steve will then help you finish off the paperwork and put you in touch with an FAA Examiner (in UK)
If you FAX the forms then the CAA/FAA bit takes 2-3 weeks. Then it's just a matter of arranging to meet the examiner (the bit I've still got to do).
