Hi all, just a quick thing I need clearing up......
In about three months time, I will hold an FAA PPL with approximately 150hrs TT with 100hrs P1. I then plan on starting an ATPL DL course when I return from California
.
My question is with regards to converting my PPL to its JAA equivalent before I begin a CPL course, not how to convert, but whether or not it is actually neeeded.....
According to LASORS:
The holder of a PPL(A) issued in accordance with ICAO
Annex 1 (excluding the NPPL) with at least 150 hours
flight time as a pilot, may commence an approved JAR
CPL(A) Modular Course
However, a few flight schools I have spoken to have said I have to convert my licence before I start training with them, even though the websites of some of the said schools state the quote from LASORS above. Others have said I can train without converting. Are the schools saying I have to convert in order to get more money out of me or am I missing a point here?!
