Hi MarkerInbound..thnx for your reply..just to dig a little deeper..cae Montreal is unsure whether initial ATP can be issued by the FAAExaminer doing the Type Rating(A330) checkride-cum-flighttest(for ATP) based on Foreign License validation. Can initial FAA ATP only be issued on American soil? As long as Foreign License is validated by FAA,I do the ATP written test and do my Type Rating CCQ with an FAA approved TRTO, what possible condition am I not meeting for initial issue of ATP?
