Some ATP questions
Hi all,
I need to convert my JAA CPL/IR into an FAA ATP in order to fly a N reg jet.
Currently I have 2400hrs, 400 multi turbine, 90 hours night, 370IFR hours and around 1800 P1 time.
I realise that I need to make the night hours upto 100hrs. Can anyone tell me how the FAA define cross country time for purpose of ATP issue? I cant really find it anywhere on the net and I dont want to fall fowl of this.
Also I am banking on getting my FAA medical and sitting the ATP exam over here in the UK before doing my type rating in the US.
I am thinking that once I sit the exam and medical I can combine my type rating with the ATP checkride. Is this realistic?
Also which books would you recommend studying for the ATP exam?
Thanks!
