Just checked.. a skilltest in a MEP will cover the SEP in both the PPL and IR conversion test from FAA to EASA. And no written requirements.
But the key is getting a school comfortable with you and your skills.. they will want to check you out so looking at the regs, you WILL be asked to fly.. acclimatization flights or what ever they call them, you will be asked to fly and likely also be grilled on EU regs. Like I said, alot of Euro schools have the arrogant attitude that FAA pilots are not up to european standards, so dont expect any leniency from the ATO..
but yes, do the paperwork to get the PPL converted, do some hours with school so they are happy to sogn off on a skilltest, one combined skilltest on MEP for both IR and PPL.. then do ATPL writtens, and go straight into CPL modular course on Multi engine.
Find a school that can provide all training under one roof ( and tell them how much you will be spending with them and it will make them happier to work with you)
You need to find a medium sized school that can accomodate modular students as alot of the bigger ones can only deal with Intergrated “RyanAir cadet sausage factory” students
