Whilst the Regulators will take into account your experience (if you have it documented), its back to the examinations in full.

FAA license conversion to EASA

Dear Friend,

Hope you are fine & doing well.

I am the Aviation Quality Manager at a Part 147 EASA approved training organization. We had a request from our local DGCA - with regard to the above-mentioned conversion (FAA to EASA). Is this possible - and if yes - how would I need to proceed.

Your kind feedback, guidance & support - will be highly appreciated.

Kind regards,

slk200

Cool

As a quality manager of a 147 EASA approved organisation, I would of thought that is something you should know.

Anyway the answer is you can not as there is no recognition between the 2.

It was possible once.....

http://alae.org/downloads/techlog/issue312.pdf

read the article starting on page 6....

"A number of BA employees in Europe held BA authorisations based upon A&P prior to 2001. This gave them an entitlement to grandfather rights. The A&P was also acceptable as a baseline qualification for an ‘A’ authorisation and would qualify as protected rights for a Category A licence.”


I think It was only possible (illegally) at the time of cutover to EASA Part 66 from BCAR section L. Now nobody would touch it with a bargepole seeing that article

not quite sure what you are getting at here liney.

But you seem to be complaining about an organisation set up to uphold the status of the EASA licence doing exactly that.

Considering that the ALAE put this in print:

The CAA Chairman, the Head of the Safety Regulation Group, a former
Chief Surveyor and two former Heads of Engineer Licensing and a freedom of
information case manager have all, at best, misled the Government, the
former Head of the Transport Select Committee, the UK aviation industry,
the general public, the travelling public or ALAE, whilst at worst they have
been blatantly lying, possibly to hide the real influence British Airways has on
regulating.
and have not been sued by those mentioned speaks a thousand words..

I wasn't complaining about the ALAE or anything else.
Just wanted to point out that once a very dodgy conversion from FAA to EASA did happen but now its not possible.

Jet II has made a very good point too....

Smile FAA license conversion to EASA

Hi Guys,

Thank you for the feedback - much appreciated!

I told the local DGCA that it was NOT possible at all - but they would not take NO as an answer - wanted proof on black & white.

I researched many forums and all of them came down to the same answer - it cannot be done at all.

I did however know that the answer would be NO.

“Spannersatcx” – What can I say but thanks for your input

“Liney” – Thank you for the link & page much appreciated!!

"ABAT4t2" - Thanks for your input

"Jet II" - Thanks for you input

Kind regards,

slk200
