Hello B200DRVR, thank you for your answer.
When you say " If you do the FAA Comm written, and maybe the IR and the type rating, which is done to FAA ATP standards, then you should end up with a FAA Commercial certificate" do you mean the written of the ATP? The problem is I lack some of the hours of the ATP.Or do you mean I can pass the Commercial written, the Instuments written and then do the checkride for BOTH during the Type Rating? Because I was told at the begining of all from a french guy who works as flight instructorin USA that this wasn't possible.
One more thing; This morning while searching info on the internet I found what follows: "This does not apply to ATP time builders because the ATP rating does not require you to land for it to be considered a cross country " (
Air America Flight Center, LLC - The Leading Flight School and Aircraft Rental Center in Daytona Beach, Florida). Can anyone explain me this? Because my problem is I that have a lot of cross country flights, some of nearly 400nm (on a piston plane that's a lot
) but always returning to the same airport where I had taken off. If the ATP rating does not require me to land in an airport more than 50nm away from the takeoff point to log it as cross country flight, how do I demonstrate that time?
500above, thank you for your all your answers. I'm a little ashamed ot taking so much of your time. I understand now the differences. I've sent a mail to the FAA from their webpage, specifying my type of licence, and current ratings, to see what kind of temporary certificate they would deliver me.
When they say "temporary" is it because it only is current while the associated foreign licence is current, or is it because they specify a duration? If the last, on what basis do they specify the duration?And can those temporary certificates be used to work?
Bye, and again, thanks...
