Wanna convert your FAA licence?
Hallo everyone, this is my first post here.
To whom it may concern:
The Italian Aviation Organization(ENAC) will keep on converting non JAA licences according to the old ragulations. No 650 theory or stuff like that: in a federated aeroclub the course duration is three months, and flight activity lasts as little as three hours, assuming that you're current. They'll probably do it in English too, but ask before.

Ok Ok OK,
why I posted and what I know: I'm Italian, I hold a FAA license and I was looking for some place to convert it cheaply. Here you can do it, until next year at least. I don't know if you can take the exams in english, I just suppose that, since other countries as Portugal do that. What you have to do is contact some Italian Aeroclub and ask. I don't know how they'll convert it from Italian to JAA license, I can just suppose it'll be kinda automatic since Italy belongs to JAA. We are doing this because we weren't able to apply the new regulations as it's Italy and not a first world country. I posted just becouse I though it could have been useful to somebody, that's it. Anyway look at www.Rai-enac.it, go to links and enter Aeroclub d'Italia, You'll find a list of aeroclubs with phone numbers. that's what I know, boys.
Happy landings to everyone

Good to hear the news. I will check into it more indepth. I have an FAA ATP, DC-9 and B-727 Type Rating, 17,000 hours, applying for a JAA 1st Class Medical at Gatwick first week of May and applying for my Italian citizenship through my wife's grandfather. Good the get the conversion news. Hope it is accurate. Would hate to go through the 23 week course in the UK. Go figure.
Thanks Any more information would be appreciated.

A JAA validation based on an FAA licence... Yeah, why not ? But what for ? Who would want to hire you if you had a licence that could be turned into confettis in just a snap and that might not be renewed the following year ?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe CAAs dont even have to justify themselves when they take your validation back !
Playing with validations is a risky business. It's the "Canada Dry" of all licences: looks like a licence, smells like it, feels like a it, but it's just a temporary paper.

Hi guys
I am hoding an FAA CPL/IR, and a UK CPL/IR
What appears to me is :
If you go in Italia to do this conversion, it will be fine if you fly here, but am pretty sure your italian JAA licence will not be accepted by other JAA members.
I am french, and if I ask UK my JAA licence, this one won't be JAA for french authorities.
Be very careful before investing money in this game ...
My feeling are the same as Flying Steph's
