Converting an ATPL
If you have a JAA ATPL and want to fly in the USA or Canada, you need to "convert" it. Happy with that and all it entails.
My question is this; Is it "converted" in the true sense of the word, or after going through the process, would you still hold your JAA ATPL ?
My reason for asking is that if I leave this country but want to come back in the future, am I looking at converting a converted licence back again (if you see what I mean ?)
