Hours requirement
Hello,
I'm a former French army helicopter pilot with 3200 turbine hours.
I would like to convert my FAA ATP (A) to the canadian one.
I have passed this exam with only 280 fixed-wing hours.
I have been told that there's a minimum requirement to convert from FAA to Canadian.
Does that mean that I won't be able to convert if I don't have 900 hours of fixed-wing?
Take any advice, thanks.
