FAA ATP SE add-on / Chicago

[ikari33]

Hi All,
I would like to add ASEL privileges to my FAA ATP (already AMEL, no FAA single engine privileges at all, except foreign-based PPL).
Around 2300 hrs of single engine experience with EASA license.
Any flight school recommendation around Chicago ?

Thanks !

If you haven't done it already, try asking in a more US-focused website like Airline Pilot Central or Jet Careers.

Disregard...just saw your post on APC. Would CPL privileges for ASEL work for you ?

Surely ATP would be an easier ride? CPL requires more maneuvers.

Ya, you're probably right. I'm not sure what training authority most flight schools so I don't know if finding one ( in a specific city) to train to ATP-SEL might be harder to find than a SEL-CPL which is everywhere.

A bit over my head on this one.

I think part 61 you can do it anywhere. I don't think you even need an endorsement (?), just some IR training to get up to standard.

Yep, Commercial would work, but...

... timewise and training wise, looks like the ATP way should be easier & shorter !

I'm planning a trip to EAA AirVenture / Oshkosh this summer, and will be in Chicago the week before... Hence the location search ;-)

Thanks by the way to both of you guys !
