Could you please give me a simple answer to converting a JAA ATPL to a FAA ATP with a step by step process?

How long should the process take from word go?

I've been told that converting an JAA ATPL to a FAA ATP is a simple process. Is this the case?

Cheers

Let me google that for you

Fisrt of all you need to verify you meet the FAA requirements, in FAA land there is no such thing as a "frozen" ATP.
14 CFR 61.159 - Aeronautical experience: Airplane category rating.

You do not need an instructor endorsement for an FAA ATP checkrdie as it is considered an experience certificate rather then a training-for-certificate.
If you fail you will need an instructor endorsement.

Under 61.153 d(3) you can take a FAA checkride with a ICAO CPL so you dont even need a foreign ATP.

assuming you have the experience above, pass the computer ground exam, do the flight test. simples ( i assume you have a jaa medical, so an faa one wont be a problem)

Thanks for your reply.

Is the Ground exam easier than the JAA ATPL's.

Yes, you can buy a book with all the questions and answers in. Gleim and asa are two names which spring to mind.
