Wow, thanks MI. Unfortunately I do not have ATP hours yet. I was thinking that you need to have FAA CPL/IR as well in order to get the ATP, but if we can get straight to ATP then I can wait. However I think in both cases they will first issue you FAA Private based on foreign license, isn't it? I don't know why everytime I'm planning for something, things are getting complicated, difficult and tougher. 40 hrs GS and Sim would do, but I hope they do not anull the whole process of conversion by the time I make the ATP hours
