FAA PPL and hours building

Hi there peeps,

I have a few questions about going from FAA PPL to EASA frozen ATPL. I'm really considering this option, but have some few questions about it.

EASA CPL asks for an ICAO PPL, and the FAA PPL is an ICAO license so nothing wrong about that. But are there some other costs which come along when going from FAA PPL to EASA CPL? Any conversions needed or so?

If the candidate has:
- FAA PPL
- required hours for EASA CPL
- included with 5hrs night flying and 20hrs VFR cross country flying (300nm on 2 different airports)

Does the candidate need to have some conversions or so? Or can the candidate just start with his ATPL theory?




Oh and another thing, do you guys think that the FAA PPL Pilot's handbook of aeronatical knowledge would be enough for the FAA PPL written test?
