Working on an Australian pilots licence or converting one to work overseas
Hi there,
I am currently halfway through an integrated cpl meir course.
i do not think i want to work in Australia though, i have looked and scoured the internet for advice on working in either Asia or Europe and have found useful material but nothing quite specific.
i have working rights in Europe, Australia and the UK, I don’t know if it’s worth it to go through and finish my licence to atpl level in Australia and would be happy to just convert my cpl to another country or continents or work over there on an endorsement for either cpl or atpl but I cannot find any definitive information on where I could work on either an endorsement and an equivalent medical, alternatively I would also convert my licence.
i know the process to do it in Europe is a very arduous task and can take over half a year or longer and don’t know if I could financially commit to that.
I have heard that you can work in Indonesia, Singapore and Hong Kong on an endorsement and a medical and an air law exam. Although I am not sure to the validity of these claims and am wondering if you awesome people can give me some advice on:
-working overseas with an Australian cpl or atpl without conversion
-converting an Australian cpl or atpl to an EASA or an asian countries licence
-time for conversion and financial commitments
-relevant authorities
-if I should just pause now and try and get into an overseas college if viable
-any other relevant information
very kind regards !
