Hi
Has any one come across a free downloadable concise question bank, for the written faa exam, to convert a UKCAAJAR IR to an FAA IR. The FAA exam is "Instrument Foreign Pilot"
Be grateful for a link, even better if you have used it sucessfully?

You'll need to do more than pass the exam. FAA IR test involves a substantial oral exam prior to the flight test during which you get grilled senseless on IR and FAR stuff. You can blitz the exam with a question bank, sure, but there's no way you'll pass the oral without genuinely knowing your stuff.

Great website, everything free.
Simply change the exams offered on the right hand side of the screen.
:ok:
You can add a foreign IR to a US restrictde license based on a foreign license.

However you can't use a foreign IR on the back of a "restricted" to apply for a US CPL IR.
You would need to take the US IR practical test.
In short, you can fly IFR in the US on a "converted" foreign IR but you cannot use it towards the application of a more advanced license or rating.
