If I have my PPL/w IR Based on my foreign lic
then its only good for recreational purposes as the IR DOES NOT carry over to a FAA CPL.
So you need to pass the IR Checkride and the CPL checkride.
Commercial Practical test standards:
http://www.faa.gov/training_testing/...S-8081-12C.pdf
Check from page 149 onwards.
1. Use of Level 1, 2 or Level 3 FTDs is not authorized for the practical test required by this PTS.
2. For practical tests, not more than 50 % of the maneuvers may be accomplished in an FTD or simulator UNLESS:
a. each maneuver has been satisfactorily accomplished for an instructor, in the appropriate airplane, not less than three (3) times,
OR
b. the applicant has logged not less than 500 hours of flight time as a pilot in airplanes.
3. Not all Areas of Operation (AOO) and Tasks required by this PTS are listed in the appendix. The remaining AOO and Tasks must be
accomplished in an airplane.
So it must be a C or D level sim and you still need to fly an airplane.
A type rating is always at ATP standards so if you meet the aeronautical requirements take the ATP ride all of which can be done in a sim.
