Jaa type rating on faa
 

Hello
Does anybody know the requirements and procedure to transfer a type rating from the jaa to they faa license apart from the tsa approval? Is a checkride enough or you will have to attend a ground school?
I am trying to xfer the challenger type rating on my faa atpl next time i go to montreal for the opc and use the opc session as a refresher prior to sitting the actual faa checkride.
Kind regards

written exam, one circle to land, steep turns. If more than 500 hours on type it depends on the training manager. Anyway a call to the training facility will tell you everything about it..

There isn't a way to "transfer" a type to a FAA certificate except at the private level on a 61.75 "based on" certificate. Since you already hold an ATP you can not get a 61.75 cert. So you have to complete a ground school and flight training per 61.157:

b) Aircraft type rating. Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, a person who applies for an aircraft type rating to be added to an airline transport pilot certificate or applies for a type rating to be concurrently completed with an airline transport pilot certificate:
(1) Must receive and log ground and flight training from an authorized instructor on the areas of operation under this section that apply to the aircraft type rating;
(2) Must receive a logbook endorsement from an authorized instructor that certifies the applicant completed the training on the areas of operation listed under paragraph (e) of this section that apply to the aircraft type rating; and
(3) Must perform the practical test in actual or simulated instrument conditions, except as provided under paragraph (g) of this section.

No where does the reg say how much ground school and flight training you have to have. Check with the sim center in Montreal to see if they have a short course they can run you through. I know a 142 school here in Texas that has foreign pilots current and qualified go through their upgrade class v. initial ground school. Four days of GS v. ten and I think it's 3 sims and a check v. 5+ the check.
