Not sure anyone has ever walked this route before, but:
I hold a FAA ATPL(H) with over 7500 hours rotary, and not a single hour fixed wing.
For the fun of it i am looking at getting my FAA PPL(A).
I am currently located at a school with FAA instructors, but they are also unsure on the procedures (they have been here in Africa for the past decades), and the FAA was not helpful either.
If i interpret the FAR 61īs correctly, i will only need the instruction time and signature from an instructor, and pass a check ride.
1. What are the minimum hours required? (donīt find anything about "bridging" in the FARs).
2. Can the training be done on non-N-registered aircraft as long as the instructor holds a FAA instructor rating?
3. Is there no written exam required?
Thanks,
