JAA to FAA whilst on Cit rating?

[smudge10]

Have JAA ATPL and about to go to the states to get a Citation Ultra rating.

Thinking of getting my FAA ATPL flying test completed whilst i'm there so have to get FAA theory completed before I go.

Any helpful suggestions for the best place to get the theory done in the uk? (live in the southwest)

Is there a web site with their current FAA Q & A's?

Thanks

Buy Jepp, Gleim or ASA 'ATP Test Prep' book(s). I used Gleim & ASA.

They're all you need. Make sure they're current though.

I understand that it is possible to do FAA ATP theories in Cork, Ireland.

Gleim books are good, and you can find questions updates on their web site.

Where abouts in the States did you decide to go in the end?
Presumably you are going there because of cost?
Did you consider Paris?

Good Luck and Enjoy it!

Smudge10, the 2 centres mentioned by Flexjet probably have the computer prep as part of the FAA computer test system, spend a day there in front of the screen and take the test. The Type rating checkride will also give you an ATP provided you have your written test result sheet with you.

Thanks for the info Klatsch.

If you already hold a type rating on your JAA ticket then what are the additional requirements to get the type on your FAA ticket type while doing a JAA Proficiency Check (if any)?

I am assuming that one holds an FAA ATP and that the two rides can be done as one...

Thanks fror your response but I don't currently hold a type rating on my JAA CPL/IR.

From other sources I believe the following to be true, having already completed the JAA theory: (Don't quote me on it).

FAA ATPL = 1500 hours +

Less than 1500 hours TT:

1. Sit both FAA PPL & CPL/IR exams.
2. Take pass certificate to FAA/TRE.
3. Check ride completed during Type Rating and put onto licence
by CAA after the required (in aircraft) touch & go's have been
completed. (Subject to TRE's permission).

1500 hours TT or more

1. Sit FAA ATPL exams.
2. Take pass certificate to FAA/TRE.
3. Check ride completed during Type Rating and put onto licence
by CAA after the required (in aircraft) touch & go's have been
completed. (Subject to TRE's permission).

I have less than 1500 hours so guess I will wait till I have, as the route seems a lot easier.

Thanks again.

Would welcome crit if valid.

Smudge10,

Thanks for your input!

My situation is this:

I hold a JAA ATPL as well as an FAA ATP and on my JAA license I have a type rating that I would also like to have on my FAA ticket.

And my question is this:

Can this be done when I do my recurrent at FSI and if so then are there any extra requirements on top of those required by the JAA to complete the proficiency check?

I've heard that your JAA PC "ride" and the FAA type ride is about the same. Is this correct?

Anyone have an answer for this one?

Cheers,

Will

Back to the top... anyone?

As far as CaeSimuflite in the states have informed me, as long as you take your FAA ATP licence with you on your recurrent training you can be assessed for both at the same time and its purely a case of submitting it to the FAA to have it put on your licence afterwards.

Don't quote me but that was the general jist I got from Simuflite.

Cheers Smudge!

popped into FSi Long Beach yesterday - they confirmed that's all you need to do.

Mission accomplished over here - do you want that book I suggested bringing back with me

No thanks mate.

Have decided to do the FAA ATPL once i've got the 1500.

Seems easier than going through the whole process with less.

Happy landings.

Thanks a bunch Chilli Monster!!!
