SUOMI specific: Validating FAA ATPL
Moi,
FAA ATPL holder (meeting full ICAO requirements) wishes to work in Finland & live with the Finnish side of family.
Any of you kind Suomilainen have knowledge of actual cases where, Finnish aviation authority VALIDATED a FAA ATP and granted a Finnish ATPL to that individual?
(Thus bypassing the JAA “training and written exams as required".)
There appears to be regulations to enable this (see below), but has it been done in the real world in FINLAND?
"High time pilots and exceptions for JAA conversion:
The major exception to the fourteen exams is that all JAA countries stand free to validate any other ICAO license they wish. However your JAA ATPL is then considered a national license and is only valid for the country where it was validated."
Cheers!
