FAA/CAA

Hi Dickon...

I received your PM. But felt that answering here would benefit others as well.


Since you are FAA licence holder your options are very limited in Europe, not just due to your low total time, but for the simple reason that US registered aircraft are quite scarse in Europe. Companies that operate N-regs are even fewer and those looking for low time pilots, well I know of none at the moment.

You need to ask yourself a very important question:

Namely where do you want to work US or EU...

If the answer is EU you need to obtain a licence that is accepted around the EU, namley JAA ticket.

Should you want to work in US, you have the right licence, but do you have a greencard??? Even with that it is getting increasibgly difficult to obtain a job due to the new DOT/DHS/TSA security regulations that foreign pilots have to comply with. US operators are increasingly reluctant to hire foreigners doe to this.

Anyways. If i can be of any help, please let me know.

Cheers

JJ
