I know it's more involved than that, but just wanted to get the general idea out there.
What I'd like to know is, what's the best country these days to sit and write the exams and get the medical? I have a European passport, so the right to work in the EU wouldn't be an issue. I plan on (hopefully) converting my license in the next couple of years and want to slowly start studying and get the process going.
Cheers
Doesnt really matter.. the questions come from a bank and are in English, so it now hinges on making it cheap for yourself.
Are you planning on living somewhere to do the groundschool or is it all online selfstudy?
What are you rated on and do you have 500hrs on type as that defines whether you simply do a checkride or forced to do an entire typerating course to complete the EASA conversion?
