FAA to JAA conversion (now that I have 1500TT)
Ok, I've finally managed to hit the 1500TT mark. I heard someone tell me that once I have 1500TT I don't have to go though an approved school in order to sit the 14 exams. Any truth in this? I have 1500TT (FAA) but haven't bothered to get the FAA ATP yet. I want to have a stab at the 14 JAR exams, but just want to see if I can do them of my own back as opposed to going though an approved course. I know I'll have someone tell me of the pros of going though the approved course (I passed 12 in a past life and them ran out of sittings), but as I have the notes and all I want to see if I can just do them myself.
Also, does anyone know how often the CAA do the exam sittings in Orlando, Florida? Is it monthly as well, or is it by appointment only? I'm not sure.
