Converting a JAA licence to an Australian one.
I have an integrated CPL (A) and at the moment I'm taking my ME/IR-ratings, frozen ATPL-theory and MCC, and will be finished by the end of May.
Now to the questions, does anyone know what it takes and how long it takes to convert it to an Australian one? What the requirements are and the costs?
Do I need and Australian work permit to convert my licence (can't find pilot on the skilled worker's list)? And what about finding a job?
I've read about a few people wanting to convert their licences but that was as long as 9 years ago and I think everything looked a bit different back then. I've also read everything there is to know on CASA's website, so now I would want to know if anyone has done it and if it was worth it and if there's anything I need to think about before I actually do it. I will only have close to 200 hours when I finish.
I'm grateful for any kind of help.
