KCAA needs to see you have flown 6 hrs of P1(solo command) in the last 6 months.Make sure there are no discrepencies because they reserve the right and often do verify from the school/company youpreviously flew with.
KCAA has its deficiencies like any African bureaucracies and like most people it is not a smooth ride going through their process but corruption is not as its put out by some of these posts.It used to be apparently rampant but has been generaly been weeded out at licensing level for pilots. At higher levels such as AOC applications(where presumably there is more greasing jambo handshake incentive) I can not vouch for it.I would b careful about making any openly defamation remarks about institutions or individuals here as there is a cautionary message that Pprune.org can not guarantee you any anonimity.
Converting to KCAA without a valid work permit if not a Kenyan is futile. Some German nationals to their disappointment were promised a rating and job on one of those pre-arranged deals.They were made to part with $20k each.Part of the deal was that they pass the conversions on their own account after the first attempt.When things dragged on and plans ssem in disarray and they wanted out...they found themselves(or one of them at least did) in a legal limbo and $20k short changed...so be forewarned.
