Converting "Expired" license
Hi gents,
I am stuck with lots of queries here , would appreciate some info and help please.
I hold a South Africa CPL ME/IR issued in 2010. Never renewed since so IR expired last month and my LPR expiring next month.
the process to go back to South Africa to renew is time and money consuming cause I need a visa to go there and where I live they issue a single entry one month visa. plus cant get much days off with my current job.
Plus I would prefer to convert to the FAA.
Checked on FAA.gov for converting a foreign airmen certificate. And it says the requirement for conversion is a valid foreign certificate.
Any ideas whether I can convert to FAA or not? Even if I have to do few exams and hours. Will my hours be taken in consideration or not?
Thanks in advance
