Gaining an FAA CPL(H) Already hold JAA CPL(H)
Hi Everyone
I’m looking at getting an FAA CPL(H) & IR, I already hold a UK issued JAA CPL(H)
I have already read FAR AIM and I’ve read through the postings on pprune.
Based on my experience / flight hours as far as I can see for the FAA CPL I only need 3 hours flight training with a CFI in the proceeding 60 days to the flight test, the commercial theory test and the commercial flight test. (I meet all the other requirements) Could some one confirm this?
Could someone also recommend a good school in the US, pm me if you want.
I’ve spoken to about 4 different flight schools in the U.S. but I get different answers from them with regards to what I need to do for the CPL. One school even told me I need to do 20 hours flight training with a CFI for the FAA CPL, I really got the impression they just wanted to fleece me for as many hours as they could.
The only thing the different schools seemed to agree on was the flight training for the IR, all seemed to agree that I could get a credit for the IR hours I had already flown in the UK.
Any other advice would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance, TTTE.
