Faa cl604/605 faa tr in flight
Hi
I hold both a jaa/easa and an faa atpl's with a CL604/605 type rating on the european license and more than 1500hrs on type as pic.
I asked the trto in montreal for a quote to transfer the tr from the jaa to the faa license and i received a pretty steep quote, in the order of 12000-14000 usd and that was comprised of 2 sim sessions including the checkride and an abbreviated ground school! - i even investigated the option in dallas but i was redirected to montreal - so i was wondering if it would be possible to do it in the actual airplane as i did so for my previous tr on the learjet. The instructor was an faa examiner.
Many thanks for any hint.

Yes, it is possible. It can be done with an FAA DPE (designated pilot examiner) who is authorized in the 604/605.
There are others, but I noticed this DPE in Georgia.
BLANTON, TOBY R.
BROOKS GA 30205
Phone: (404) 386-2643
FAA Office: SO35
Aircraft: BE-76-76, CE-172-172, CL-604-604
Here is the master directory: Federal Aviation Administration - Designee Locator
The DPE above is listed under SO-35, the Tampa Flight Standards Office.
Good luck.

Transfer of tr
Hello everyone
Many thanks for your replies, keep them coming!
As far as the so called FAA portion, there used to be such a thing in the past up until about 4 years ago, now it is all gone, no more combined checkrides or training! An extra session on top of the recurrent plus the fas checkride are needed and that if associated with a full jaa recurrent otherwise the training sessions become two!
There are only three sims for the 605 in the world, montreal, dubai and dallas, so they can basically do as they are pleased!
To me the only valuable option would be doing the ride in the real plane! I am sure i could get away with it for less than 8000 usd!
Any hint is highly appreciated!

FAA check
Hi baobab,
The problem is that they, the sim provider, can only check in accordance with their FAA appproved courses. Sounds like you have been quoted a previous experience course.
I doubt you can complete a check in the air, however you maybe able to dry lease the sim and get the examiner and yourself into the sim. 'Independent' DPEs generally are not bound by the Part 140something courses that the sim provider is.
The only other option I see is either an FAA recurrent; or will an SIC rating do instead of a PIC one?.....
Hope this helps,
