icao cpl to faa atp
Good day, I hold an ICAO CPL with 1500 hours on type on ATR and i would like to convert it to FAA ATP.
My initial license is from NZ CAA but i now fly on my ICAO CPL ME/IR where my ratings are also stamped, would this be an issue for me being current on my ICAO cover the need for the ATP requirements ?
Could you guys please point me in the direction of the good establishments that i can do it with and rough cost and time frame.
Responses are greatly appreciated and even pm

Hi there
I also have a similar problem.I have an ICAO CPL and currently fly 737NG as an FO,i have a frozen FAA ATP and i need to do my checkride on the 737NG sim so as to have the 737NG endorsed on it.Does that require me to do a full type rating or just few sessions in the sim since i'm currently flying the plane on another licence.Your cents are highly needed on this matter.
Best Regards

Any ICAO CPL or ATPL is sufficient to allow attempting an FAA ATP checkride. Make sure you meet all the hours requirements in accordance with the FARs. Pay particular attention to what counts as cross country time.
Generally the FAA doesn't transfer qualifications (except for a 61.75 validation and some design feature endorsements) so a checkride is required for the issue of a type rating. Whether a company will let you use their sim or aircraft without doing their training course is up to them.
BTW, no such thing as a frozen ATP. You either hold the ATP, or you don't.

N1 - The FAA only issues one 737 rating, good for 100-900. So it will just say B-737 on your certificate. There is a requirement that a candidate for a rating complete ground and flight training before the checkride. So you can't just do a few sessions in the sim and take the checkride. Each training center will have approved syllabuses that state the required classroom and sim hours.
