CONVERTING an ICAO License into JAA?

[xbxex]

Has anyone out there converted their ICAO CPL or ATPL into a JAA one? This is what I'll be doing soon. I could use some help, like how long it takes? where to start? etc.
I've 2,100 hrs. total time in a regional airline, is there a flight training exemption?
Thanks.

Fill in the JAA form and request it after your next profcheck .That's all.
As simple as it gets really.

cheers

Thanks E.Morse, where do you get that form?

[E. MORSE]

Think your company will have it.
If not , they should request it.

Maybe one can get it theirselves if in a hurry ?

Most likely your countries JAA office will have it.


Cheers

Oops , I noticed now you're in Mexico really !

Then your company most likely will not have it - try the JAA (Dublin if Irish ?)

Aaaaaah Mexico.(I had some good times in the City-to-Oaxaca-area.)

Take care , good luck .


Cheers

Take a look at http://www.jaa.nl/jar/jar/jar/jar.fcl.1.016.htm for the requirements. In effect you will have to do all the JAR/FCL theoretical exams and take the JAR/FCL Skill Test; however, there are some easements on the training if you have a type rating for the aeroplane on which you will take the Skill Test. See also http://www.srg.caa.co.uk/documents/srg_fcl_PolicyUpdate .pdf (http://www.srg.caa.co.uk/documents/srg_fcl_PolicyUpdate.pdf) for the UK position.

It's a very expensive thing to do.
Unless you can get a validation you must do the 14 JAR ATPL exams before you can start. (With the validation, you still have to do them, but you have a year's worth of employment as well).
If you have 500 hours or more in 2 pilot operation, then you need to do an ATP skills test in THAT aeroplane with a CAA approved examiner. If you have 500 hours in 2 pilot ops but are not in current flying experience, then a multi pilot type rating and skills test is required.
If you have neither, 50 hours IR is required.

Thank you so much for the info. guys, I will study it. I'll most likely pursue the JAA License in the UK, any FTO that you'd recomend. I'm current in the Fairchild Metroliner, does that mean that in order to get an exemption of some kind in the flight training that I would need to undergo the flight test in a Metroliner? Or maybe just a small twin would do?
Thank you again.
Happy landings.
