EASA ATPL conversion to FAA ATP
Hello everyone,
i hold an EASA ATPL with a B737 Type rating on it, currently employed as a CPT in Europe.
I wish to convert my EASA ATPL to FAA ATP and would like know how to do this by limiting as much as possible travelling to the US for family reasons.
The last time i flew in the US was almost 20 years ago so i forgot everything, what are the burocratic steps to undertake for a licence conversion there?
-Are there places here in Europe to make the conversion to FAA? i mean both the written ATP and the practical checkride?
-Is it possible to do the practical ATP checkride on the 737 sim? ( i know i won’t get the 737TR on the FAA ATP but at least i won’t have to do the checkride on a Seneca, haven’t flown props for decades and don’t fancy spending a lot of money on retraining).
-How can i obtain the FAA 737TR without doing a full TR again? are there shortcuts?
Just interested for the FAA ATP at the moment, without SE or ME Class ratings.
Thanks all for your help.
