Hello,
Before jumping to questions, I would like to introduce my background and what I am confusing regarding logbook entry.
I was an airlines pilot from Vietnam. I got my very first CPL ME/IR in Melbourne, AUS in 2009. I then came back to Vietnam and became airlines pilot until 2017. I have ATR72/B777/87 typed in my Vietnamses license for FO. I got 2 licenses at that time which I used my Vietnamese one to practice my privilieges. I logged most of my airlines experience with my vietnamese license, around 6000h.
In 2017, I quitted my job in Vietnam to move to the U.S. After a year being unemployed, I started to find a way to get my pilot job back here. At that time both of my licenses’s currency expired. However, I can ONLY revalidate my Australian license. I am unable to renew my Vietnamese license due to The Aviation Administration of Vietnam can only revalidate for pilots belonged to the airlines which I am not.
I am taking an atp type rating course at the moment, in order to transfer to FAA ATP.
And this is my serious question. If I use my Australian CPL to transfer to FAA ATP, do I have to consider only flight hours logged under this license to count toward total experience for FAA ATP(1500h) because I cant meet the requirement with this license. Can anyone who has been through this problem explain for me? I appreciate for any help.
