Guys
Apologies if this has been covered. I have searched and read all the replies here but I'm still unsure of where I stand. I have researched it though and am not just coming here to be lazy!
I have a JAA ATPL. I also have the letter from the FAA confirming this fact ( verification of a foreign licence). I have began studying for the FAA ATP written exams.
I need an FAA ATP. Ideally a 'stand alone', that is one which doesn't depend on the validity of the ratings on my JAA ATPL, and can have ratings added to it as and when required, independent of the JAA licence.
I assume I need an FAA medical.
I am attending FlightSafety Wichita for recurrent in January.
The way I read it is that if I sit the ATP written exam, then have my check ride on my recurrent, I hopefully qualify for an FAA ATP.
Does this make sense?
Thanks in advance.
