FAA ATPL to Canadian

[podmotorsport]

Hey all, i hold and FAA ATPL and I am looking to get as much info as possible so I can get my FAA Converted to a Canadian CPL with an IR, maybe even a ATPL with IR etc.

Any info would be great.

Thanks all

There is some talk of them doing a direct exchange but I believe the process has stalled. Best check with TC.

Otherwise, 2 sets of exams, some flying and a check ride. I believe you can take the IR straight off if you have an ICAO one.

Talk to Pro IFR in Boundary Bay

I converted my FAA CPL A to Canadian a couple of years ago. An hour long 20 question exam with 60% to pass. The same for the IR. No flying involved. I believe the ATPL is the same. I dont think their converting helicopter yet.

Pat,

As I understand it you are going to need ME time to get the ATPL H in Canada. Straight validation for the CPL isnt far away.

You could do the writtens and flight test however:E and sort it once and for all.

Good stuff:ok:

From one of my moles in TC:

Apparently we’re waiting on the FAA legal team to review the licence exchange documentation. Hopes are that we should have something in the first half of next year.

I ordered the books online. Calgary Pilot Supply Ltd. (http://www.cyberpilotshop.com/index.htm)
I went out to Calgary for a few days and sat the exam there.

I bought the AIM online from them and Culhane Heli Fight Training Manual when I was over there.

You need someone like Aerocourse to guide you through the mistakes in some training materials :E

So what's the latest concerning FAA to TCCA conversion for the Rotorcraft category? :) Will it finally come through this year?

[paco]

They are currently having problems finding someone to do the drafting due to lack of staff within TC
