Hi eveyone,
I'll start training in October this year over in the States, and will do FAA PPL, CPL and ME + IR followed by some hour building.
Being from continental Europe of course, and having (wanting
) to return home, I'd then want to get my JAA ATPL.
Now, I was told that the conversion route isn't as easy anymore as it used to be couple of years ago.
I truly hope you guys could shed some light on some questions which keep bugging me over and over again.
-- Basically, is it better to only do PPL and CPL in the US and then get the JAA ATPL here, or would I have to FIRST do to the FAA ATPL and then convert it?
Would it actually make any sense to do both?
-- What exactly are the requirements for a "conversion" anyway? I've called Austrocontrol because I was told they will give me all info I need (I'm Austrian as you can guess from that) , but they told me to look it up on the internet....how helpful!!! Anyway, couldn't find it.
Does it count as "conversion" if I do FAA PPL and CPL and then the JAA ATPL? What's the conversion part here, I don't get it....sry for being a neeewbie
Any help on this often-covered subject would of course be hiiiiighly appreciated. And yeah, I've read the other threads too....information overflow aaah
