Hi,
i have a french EASA 66 licence and i want to convert it into a CAA UK licence...could you help me and give some informations for how i have to do?
Thanks.

Masen

i wonder why that might be:rolleyes:

Funny day today, keep running into "things" that for some reason irritate me immensely.

:Esorry guys, Sorry if my question offended you so... If you cannot help me, you can see overthere if i'm...:*

Masen,
If you are holder of a EASA Part 66 you should have seen the Form 19.
There is no way to convert the 66 to another country.

No-hoper

I agree with your comment on Part 66 Form 19s.

However...

Below is a FAQ page from EASA's Standardisation website. Please scroll down to Question/Answer #17. What does EASA actually state about Part 66 licences issued by different NAAs? (Note: This information has been published for 5 years, so if it were incorrect surely it would not be included.)

Thanks a lot BAE146 for your help...:D

BAe,point # 17 is interesting-no doubt.The idea in 2005 was to enable the conversion of a national AML to a Part 66 of another country.But if you once received a Part 66 you have to deal with the authorities of the issuing country.My AML was converted in 1995 to another country-
was a nightmare !
Then the AML was converted to JAR 66 -a bigger nightmare !
JAR 66 to EASA Part 66 was ok...
Due to my own licence history i was always involved in the changes of
regulations.I never heard of a conversion of a Part 66 from one country to
another one.

Masen,good luck and pls keep us updated

OK no-hoper. I sent a message to the CAA and i hope the answer will be quick...i'm keeping you in touch...THANKS

I somehow know what the answer from PLD will be...

Likewise Bus. If people were to remember the converted FAA A&P approved personnel to Part 66 B1 British Airways & Virgin Atlantic staff of 2006, anything is possible for the right amount ££££. Thank Christ these UKCAA staff don't actually maintain live aircraft as they (and EASA) appear barely fit to regulate us.

what is the point of converting a License ???

I can just guess that there is one company that is looking for engineers, they approve few kind of license and also EASA issued in UK
For Europe companies it doesnt mater witch country issued EASA license they want just EASA

regards

I can understand the problems you will have, as France prior to EASA didn't have national licences just approvals, I know an engineer that tried to convert his approvals over before EASA and got nowhere.

Similarly, secondhand, I was informed of a UK CAA licence holder of a full Danish EASA licence, having to sit courses in the UK to remove the limitations he didn't have on his Danish licence because on conversion the Danes did not add any to his Licence, before the UK would issue him a full UK EASA licence, (because in the UK they would have put the limitations on his Licence), all because he wanted to work back in the UK and they wouldn't recognise the none limited Danish Licence...... Even though he had in effect a clean EASA Licence...........

Hope you understand that.

Even UK licence holders have problems with the CAA when it comes to licence/type issue & restriction removal. If the history of you obtaining your EASA licence doesn't include the passing of all the modules, and the experience required, in accordance with whats on the CAA website....I foresee problems with you converting to a UK license.

You may not understand this, though some of the UK guys will, do you have Masons in France??

everybody knows that we understand nothing in France.
can you remind me where Toulouse is ?
nodrama , are you looking for a conversion to building houses and buildings ?
do you know uk guys that everything in France is out of charges according licenses ?
cheers.

Your point being?? one could say it would just be a glorified tube train without the wings from the UK, the engines from UK and USA, and all of the other assemblies and sub assemblies built around the world..... there is a difference between "building aircraft" and simply putting together a kit of parts from the rest of the world..

We were not having a pop at him, just pointing out the difficulties he would incur, he asked and everyone answered honestly..

was a referral to Free Masons, and their alleged ability to 'get things done' where others fail, due to their associated contacts within the society. It is rumoured that there may be such people within the CAA (:eek:)......

not such a dig at the French now, is it? Feel better?

Jepp, although asked a thousand times before by you,
I will help you out.

Hope this helps

@ no-hoper this is the answer of the caa and bus429 you was right:

"Dear Sir

There are currently no provisions with the regulation for a change of state of licence issue.

The Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence is recognised in all Member States and it is not necessary to change the document.

Many thanks
