Hi Guys and Girls,
Need help in knowing what i require and where to go to convert a JAR CPL (H) to a FAA CPL(H) in the UK.:ok:

why bother ? Just nip out to Dutch Country helos in PA, USA and get it done in a short week or so. Much more relaxed.

Try reading one of the two top threads in the forum. They may be of help - your post doesn't show any indication of having looked there, or of having used the search function.

The FAA Commercial written, 3 hours of dual with an instructor, checkride with an examiner.

That's it in short. It's quite easy.

If you have the experience requirements, which are very similar across ICAO countries (but for surity check a current edition of the FAR/AIM) this should be possible to achieve in either the US of UK.

In the US pretty straightforward - agree a prep programme with a CFI (min 3 hours as per other posts), then take a check ride.

in the UK you would have to do the training with a current CFI (FAA certificated) and a check ride with a current FAA DPE. The former may not be too hard to find; the latter perhaps more challenging; although I read recently on a post here that there may be one or two in the UK.

A third option is to do the training here and check ride there: but clearly if going to the US for a check ride you may as well do the prep hours there too, with all the advantages of being familiar with the local flight environment pre-check ride...

Dont forget to get your Jaa ticket verified by your country.This is a must for the FAA to do checkride and issue cert.

If you have the experience requirements, the question is why would you have the licence issued on the basis of a JAR licence? By taking the theory exams, gettng the requisite dual training as per other posts, getting an FAA medical, and taking a check ride, the licence is stand alone. Most if not all of these requirements would be required if you were converting (a route usually taken at PPL level).

The FAA doesn't issue a commercial license on the basis of. This only goes for the PPL. You'll always have a full FAA CPL

I understood this post is asking JAA CPL to FAA CPL conversion ?
