Hi Everyone,

Appologies if this has been done before......

I have an ICAO ATPL, and am looking to convert it over to a JAA. Does anyone know of the simplest and most cost effective way of getting the JAA written exams out of the way.

Currently I'm in Canada, so news on any JAA affiliated schools this side of the pond would be much appreciated,

Blue Skies,

Sax

I am looking into this at the moment. Everyone I've spoken to has had very good things to say about Bristol Ground school. I understand that they do a DL version and CD-rom. Exams can be taken in Florida if they don't have any nearer.

You might not have to take an approved course if you are an ATPL-holder with some multi-crew time.

Thanks guys,

The DL looks like the most viable option right now, especially seeing as I can take the exams state side,

You definately wouldnt be going wrong with bristol ground school. I started my first module DL about 2 weeks and so far i'm a third through it. They have everything laid out very well and it is easy to understand.

We told him it wasn't acceptable behaviour but.....

And as it took me 4 weeks to get through OAT phase 2 I believe him. I am sure Steve will remember me the student that barfed then fell asleep in his Hydro class.

You need to have a flight computer that can do compressibility corrections to TAS, because you are not allowed to take correction tables into the exam. If the ARC1 doesn't have a comp corr function, then I'm afraid that you need a CRP5, or equivalent (ie, an ARC2).
