OZ ATPL conversion to EASA ATPL

[flyboyUK2003]

Greetings all,

I was just wondering if anyone had any info on how much it costs to do the flight test to convert an Ozzie ATPL to the new EASA European ATPL. I'm currently command endorsed on the Dash-8 Q400 and would like to do the test, I'm assuming in the sim, on the same aircraft, either in Oz or somewhere in Europe if it works out cheaper.

If anyone has done this already or has any info at all, please reply or PM me.

Much appreciated!

Try Oxford sim (http://www.oaa.com/pages/about_us/fleet/simulators/Dash-8-Q400)
It's in Sweden. You'll have to pay for a CAA examiner and all his/her airline/hotac fees too.
I guess you're up to speed about the rest of the conversion - assuming that's what you're after?
Once again, it's all changing, EASA have new regs out. :ugh:

Hi Redsnail,

Thanks for the info, I'll check them out. You're actually the same person who gave me advice on the theory subject stuff before, so yes, I WAS up to date on all that, but I don't know much about the new EASA stuff. You wouldn't happen to have any info on that would you?

Cheers

If its of any interest, most of us with pommie atpls have no idea what bloody licences we have any more, thanks to this farce called EASA, and it wont get any simpler with time l can tell you!
