You will need to provide evidence of work experience equivalent to CASA SOE requirements. And probably sit a CTC make up exam to confirm required under pinning knowledge and successfully compete the CASA AA exam.

I think you will find that CTC is out the door now, I recently worked with some easa B1 and B2 guys and I am sure they did not have to go through the pain of CTC like I did.

Convert FAA to CASA

I'm planning on travelling to the US to do the entire CPL course plus ME and IR.
I'm hoping to come back to Australia and convert my license and ratings to CASA.
Has anyone done this?
I would love to study in Australia but the exchange rate is so good at the minute it seems alot cheaper to fly to the US for a couple of months and study full time.
It even seems cheaper taking into account loss of earnings and having to pay for accomodation and flights over to the US and back.
Has anyone else been researching the figures?
Has anyone actually done this? If so, where did you study in the US and how easy/hard/expensive was it to convert your FAA qualifications to CASA?
Did you end up saving time/money by doing it this way?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Stall master.

Stall master be careful. Last week I had another read on the CASA website and read that CASA wants to stop Australians from gaining a FAA licence and convert it to a CASA licence. Unfortunately I can't find it now, have a good look at the website.

Only licences from Canada, UK, Netherlands, France, Italy and Germany are nominated to do the AA exam only. All other countries will have to do the full CTC exam. Have a read in here http://www.casa.gov.au/wcmswr/_asset...d/ctc_215b.pdf its all there.

Can't you simly convert your Canadian to EASA? I thought they are basically the same.
Forget your FAA if you want to convert to EASA or CASA

Good luck

A&P to CAR31 (or even soon to be part66), forget it. You are persona non grata in the eyes of CASA, you will have to start from scratch.

yes there are many similarities between easa and canadian, very much the same as the similarities to canadian and casa and casa and easa..... really many similarities if you know about them...... if you really think that they are not similar then your are either very arrogant or very ignorant..... i will let you tell me which one... anyways i don't really care to argue or complain with anyone, at the end of the day it is only a piece of paper and i am interested only in collecting more of them.
i do have another quick question and that is... will casa in the near future change their requirements so that you do not need to fly to Australia to write the air regs exams?.... not really a problem but the cost to fly there and stay is a little high.... also i know there is another thread about this but does anyone know of and have experience with a school that offers casa air regs exam training? any online training available?
cheers

I beg your pardon?

i could say the same thing about your comment mr high and mighty!

is there a shortcut to getting the EASA throught italy
there should be no shortcuts in this industry, and those with integrity should be willing to work to get it.

Canadian license is similar in that it is a license to work on aircraft, but their system is not similar to EASA.

As for your questions on CASA licensing, well, i cant be bothered helping you now.

The UK EASA B1/B2 license is the same throughout Europe.

I’m not sure why you assume there would be a shortcut to achieving your license in Italy but I can assure you that most of the Italians I know that have a good comprehension of the English language fly to the UK to do their B license module exams. Also the exams in Italy would be in Italian, so if the Italians are spending their time and money to go to the UK to do the exams then that should tell you how organized they are in Italy for the exams.

Good luck to you,
