Type ratings in the US - foreign citizen

[foghorn]

£10,000 - £22,000 (US$15,000 - US$35,000) depending on type and provider for a JAA type rating in the UK. The low end of that range for small turboprops, the upper end for B737 etc. This includes aircraft rental for the base training touch and gos.

You must have a JAR CPL/IR with ATPL theory passes and an MCC to get a JAR type rating. Conversion from FAA is not an insubstantial undertaking (both in cost and time)

Note in this context the term 'certificate' is rarely used outside the US - 'licence' or 'license' is used instead.

Have you thought about Canada or Oz?

hope this helps.
cheers!
