Hi!
Anybody got any info on how to convert from FAA license to Australian rules?
I have an CPL Rotor craft with instrument rating.
Thanks

Thanks for the replies guys!
This “conversion” exam, What is it about? How can i prepare for it? How does the job market look like in Australia? I am lucky to be a citizen of this lovely country and would like to work there.
Again Thanks

can't remember exactly where it is on the website, but try the CASA site and search for pilot licencing, examinations or overseas licences

The other thing to ad to Mr Selfish's list is a medical.

Check here as there are doctors in the US who are approved to do a CASA medical:

Same as a medical anywhere else. Although in Czech they hooked my brain up to a computer... apparently I'm not crazy.
