Hello there!
Hope it doesn't harm anyone if I add my query to the tread-starter' one...
A little of my background: I did ALL the initial training in USA, from 0 to CPL-SEL/MEL (A) - IR then moved back to EU and converted. I now hold a UK CAA CPL/ME-IR and a B200 rating (this last one endorsed for multi-pilot operations only with the IR attached).
After the initial 250-ish hrs in the States I never returned for more flying so my FAA medical, BFR, etc, etc are a must if I want to put everything back on track. And here is where my dilemma starts...
What is best? Re-activate the FAA ticket and the convert (with relative ease as stated in TC website) to TCCA or skip this step and gear up for a JAA (EASA) to TCCA process?
The first options seems more logical to me, taken into account that I can get an FAA and/or TC Class 1 medical from the same guy that does my JAA's tomorrow. I could also have my FAA up and running again without leaving the UK, I suppose and perhaps add the ATP.
My actual experience in a nutshell: 1700 TT, 1100 ME (mainly twin-turboprop) , 900 IFR, 300 night, 600 PIC, MCC, fATPL...etc, etc.
Regards
DK
