Im in a similar postion as EGHI. I have a JAA CPL/IR, more than 1500tt, some of that turbine, and almost the required 100 hours night.

So from what I gather, correct me if I'm wrong: are to gain a FAA medical here in the UK, sit the FAA ATP exam at EGLF, and then as Im doing my first N reg type rating on a citation complete the ATP checkride??

Would this then give me an FAA ATP?

A couple of questions. Can you just turn up to EGLF and sit the exam, or do you have to first sit a course before the FAA can issue you with the paper work in order to sit the exam- like in the JAA?

Also how long do the ATP exam credits last? How hard would it be to do a ATP checkride on an aeroplane that you have just completed a type rating on?

I presume this method is better, and cheaper than the route of converting my JAA CPL/IR direct to the FAA CPL/IR?

Hope you dont mind me asking all these questions.
