Just so as to gain a JAA licence....
is there an option of converting an Australian ATPL to a JAA/CAA CPL without doing all 14 ATPL exams... and only doing the Medical and maybe the flight/sim check?
I mean, do they give credit to someone for already having an ATPL and issue them with a CPL (a downgrade, but a licence nonetheless) without having to do everything discussed above?
Saves money, and still provides the opportunity to work in the UK/Europe or fly a JAA registered aircraft.
Anyone in the know?
