Converting Canadian to JAA requires the following (this is based on doing it in Ireland).
- Finish in Canada with full Mutli-IR CPL
- Sit and pass all 14 JAA ATPLs
- Sit the JAA CPL flight test with a minimum of 5 hours training. This must be done in a "complex" aircraft. This is different from the Canadian CPL test. I flew a Cessna 172-RG (retractable gear and variable pitch prop). Can't be a normal 152 or 172. You need to do this to have a JAA license on which to put your mutli and instrument ratings on.
- Unless you have 100 hours PIC of a twin engine... do the full Multi rating course again (7 hours twin)
- For the IR 10 hours sim and 5 hours in the plane. You qualify for these reduced hours
- Do a Multi-IR flight test. You can do these seperately if you want or together.
So yeah... bit of work :/
And the JAA class 1 medical will have to be an initial.
