Hi there,

I have read abit of information on this site about converting a ICAO licence to an FAA.

I have a New Zealand and Australian CPL with a Grade 2 Instructor rating and about 770hrs of instructional experience, with a total time of about 1100hrs.

What are the requirements for converting the instructor rating over?

I do hope to have completed my Australian ATPL exams before a possible move to the states, but would look initally at instrucing in Texas or Louisiana.

Any help would be appreciated as well as any hints for the prospects of jobs :ok:

There is no conversion available for you. The only conversions, and not for Flight Instructor, is Canadian to US and the other way around.

You will be credited with your hours and training but will have to complete the writtens and the flight test. Prior to the flight test you are required to have completed, and get signed off, for 3hours of pre test training.

Hi,
My son is just fininishing his Instructor rating in Canada. I understand that you cannot convert the Canadian Instructor rating. How about the rest of the licenses. He has a "frozen" ATPL as well as his multi IFR.

Where would I find some more info?
Thanks

He'll have to get a FAA medical and there is a short knowledge test.

There's no such thing as a "frozen ATP" in the US, just people who have taken the written but not the checkride. You see "ATP written passed" on some resumes
