Converting Australian CPL/IR to JAA

[zacc]

Hello to all!

This is my 1st time onboard the pprune band wagon, please forgive me if Im bringing up another boring topic, as Im not sure if this subject has been beaten to death already.

Ive been contemplating converting my Australian CPL/IR to the JAA equivalent. I have spoken to a few European pilots, UK flying schools, & the CAA. They all seem to have different ideas on the relevant requirements.

Has anyone been through the process recently, or any suggestions on where I might find this elusive information?

I look forward to your views, & further discussions!

Part 5 of this GID tells you what you need to know.

This has been rehashed many many times and there are some excellent posts on the topic. You should use the search button on the top right.

Those that have done it report the following:

Without 500 hours multi crew (and it must be in a aircraft which is required to have 2 crew, PA31 doesn't cut it) it'll cost you upwards of $50K. With the multi crew time take $20K off.

Expect up to 12 months of study.

Your Aussie ATPL and IR frozen or otherwise, leave it at home. It's useless.
