Converting FAA CPL/IR to Canadian Equivalent

[minus273]

Hey there,

Well I did my Canadian licence and then the FAA.

Things to look for in the way of study guides and books:

I assume that you have done FAA (maybe JAA??) to Commercial standards.

If that is the case then you should not have too many problems navigating the Canadian licences. Although they are not easy, with the knowledge that you have you should not have too many problems with them.

Now for books.

Canadian Air force Weather Command Book.
From The Ground Up (Covers all topics and is a good book in general)


Study Guides:

AeroCourse: Instrument
(I am not sure if they do one for commercial) Also Aerocourse do weekend seminars at the end of which you can then take the test I believe.

If you can also get hold of a Canadian AIP that would be good believe that you can order them not sure how though. Try Transport Canada.

Also see if you can get a CAP GEN it is similiar to the front section of the plates in the USA and is useful for the oral section of the instrument flight tests.

For multi-flying I used the Jepp multi book as used in the USA.

The commercial flight test is not too bad, similiar to the USA but less ground and performance manouvers.

The Instrument is I would say harder, but hey I did the Canadain one first and you always find that one harder.

All I can think of at the moment,

Well write back if you want and more details.

Congrats to Ireland on beating Ingerland.
And Scotland you need to pull your thumb out, is very embaressing wearing a Scotland jersey when you play like that.
