From ANAC PP to FAA PPL
I'm Belgian, living and flying in Brazil.
I'd like to get my FAA CPL, starting from my Brazilian PP licence.
I know this is possible, if you do the med check in the US, theory exam, some hours and check flight, however, I can't find the details on this?
* Do I have to do the whole theory exam?? For JAA I only had to study 'air regulation' and 'fisiological effects of flying on the human body', while navigation, flying theory, engines and navigation were 'accepted' from the Brazilian licence.
* How many brazilian flying hours do I need to be able to do a 'short' program?
* Med check: where, when - how much time before do you need to plan this?
* How many hours do you have to do in the US before being allowed to do the check flight?
* WOuld it be possible to do this in, say, 10 days? (planning well)
...and any other important information I would need to know.
Has anyone of you done this already??
