Converting JAR ATPL to FAA ATP

[rosewellian]

I have friend with JAR ATPL _2500hrs total (turbine 700hrs night 160hrs)

He wants to know whats involved in getting an FAA ATP and whether there will be any dispensations for his current qualifications.

As long as your friend fulfills the FAA ATPL flight prerequisites then he is allowed to go straight to the FAA ATPL.
Holding an ICAO CPL/ATPL with full Instrument rating he will need to complete:

1. FAA ATPL Written exam
2. Complete an FAA oral and flight test.

Most only complete in the twin.

Happy New Year (almost)
