JAA CPL/IR to FAA ATP with 320 Rating?
Hello there,
I currently possess a JAA CPL/IR FI(With Multi/IF/Night restrictions removed). I believe I meet the requirements for an FAA ATPL, so please correct me if I'm wrong: 2000 hours total time, over 600 IFR hours, over 500 Cross country, 100 hours night with at least 45 landings.
I would like to know how to convert my license to an FAA ATPL, please? I know I have to do the written exam, but what flight tests do I have to do? I know I need approval from the TSA, but do I need to select a school before I apply?
I am thinking of doing an FAA 320/737 type rating - is it possible to do the conversion by completing a test on these aircraft types, or would I have to do the exams in a piston twin/single? The reason for the type is that I am looking at jobs with an ICAO rating in the Middle & Far East and the JAA cost is too much!
Thanks in advance for any advice or recommendations?
