hi guys. I came in as a S/O to QR. You can read my earlier post for details. I asked the management and they told me that FAA ATP(written) is NOT accepted. It has to be either ICAO or JAA frozen. My cousin wants to apply since he is flying in the states at the moment and hence i found out. But if HR give you a different answer, let me know coz then i can go to GMFO and ask him directly.

isnt it true dat Faa ATP counts as a ICAO ATP? can ne1 confirm dat ?

garry do you knw the procedure to convert FAA written to ICAO and from where it will b done ?

as far as i know, to conver the FAA ATP to an ICAO one, you need to do a couple of written papers. And since we all know that the FAA isnt of the highest standard, it is going to be tough. I did the ICAO ATP which was suposed to take 8 weeks in about 15 since there was so much of catching up to do after doing a FAA CPL. its not going to be easy but if you work ur butt off, you might be able to do it in about 8-10 weeks. But i am not too sure if FAA ATP is counted as an ICAO one.

There is nothing called an ICAO license. ICAO is an organisation which most of the countries are member of. To make it easy on you guys for example, if an invidual hold a Indian ATP license, his country is a member of ICAO, so his/her license will count toward ICAO, but there are countries out there that is not a member of ICAO such as Trinidad Tobago (maybe they are with ICAO now),so in this case if a pilot hold an ATP license from Trinida CAA, he or she will not be consider ICAO/ATP because his country is not a member or does not meet the standards. And yes FAA ATP is an ICAO license. Several counties have a scheme called frozen ATP with mean you take your ATP theoretical exam and fly certain amount of hours and after you achive the flight time your license will become a ATPL.

Many people think that FAA license is weak, but don't forgett that most of the pilots that fly for Qatar, Cathay, Emirates, king fisher are FAA ATP holders.

Good luck

re anonymous 6
 

yes you are right in stating that the FAA license is an ICAO approved license , but the difference in theorotical knowledge required to pass the FAA ATP written and a JAA or Indian/aussie etc etc written is enormous.If you ask an average FAA ATP holder the formulae to calculate convergence or gyroscopic topple , he/she would give you a what the #$%^ look....

As far as flying skills are concerned , there's nothing much to seperate FAA /CAA/JAA flyers although you might find the odd , "we r the best flyer types" ......yes FAA licensed flyers are everywhere and they're as good as pilots licensed elsewhere.....
