Foreign Type to FAA Type rating
Hi there!
I am holding an FAA ATPL plus 2 others. How can I have a type rating (ATR, current on type) added to my FAA certificate ? What's the rule? Do I need a check ride by an FAA examiner or is it a matter of paperwork? Many thx for infos. |
Depends. . .
If you want a PIC Type Rating then you need to do a check ride. If you want a SIC Type Rating, it is a simple paperwork application at your closest Flight Standards District Office. More info here: http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=223382 |

The days of just taking a checkride with an examiner are long gone. |
all right!
Thanks my friend.
Well that makes sense. Just a bit complicated to find an ATR FAA examiner here in Europe. |

All pretty silly and old-fashioned when you think about it. Oh well, the FAA in their infinite wisdom. |

If they could only make it more easier, it would save a lot of headaches. A Boeing is a Boeing is a Boeing , just like an AirBus. I guess it's to keep people emplyed and their pockets filled!!! |
FAA ATR Type Rating
Did you find a provider for the FAA ATR Type Rating?
|
A good start would be the FAA website (Google it) - just like you can find useful info on the UK CAA website.
In this business, nothing stays the same forever and thus info that may be correct years ago is not necessarily the same today. Maybe the "free skies" starting next year will provide some relief, but I doubt it. Each state will want to keep it's own protective world even though it is now a global world in business and aviation. Good luck. |
Hi discus 2
I know someone that will be FAA ATR DE very soon . So if you are interested PM me . He will be able to give you 61.58 check on the airplane or in an approved FAA sim ( HOUSTON) . Gusto |
JAA/CAA/CASA/ICAO conversion to FAA
Hello,
Is here some one who can help me with the question what the best and quickest way is to convert your JAA license in FAA? I want to fly around 30 hours in Florida, in a JAA school. Now I have my JAA fATPL CPL ME IR, and I know to fly in US airspace, you need to have a FAA license. I have heard a lot of stories, that obtaining the FAA license can vary from 1 day (just go to a FAA office in the US) to a several months with a lot of paperwork. Is there anyone who can provide me with some clear information? Thanks very much in advance! |
Hola suus1983 -
xxx With your JAR Commercial, you can go to any FAA office, and request a FAA Commercial pilot certificate, that you will obtain immediately. The certificate will state - "Commercial Pilot "Airplanes single and multiengine land "VFR privileges only "Issued on basis of JAA (country) Commercial pilot licence nºxxxxx "Not valid for hire or commercial operations of airplanes... "Expires (date)... xxx Note that your JAA licence must be valid (medical as well) when you fly with such FAA certificate. xxx If you wish to validate your JAR instrument privileges, you must pass a test (takes a couple of hours at worst) which is a "foreign instrument rating competency test"... see FAR 61... There is no FAA equivalent of a JAR fATPL, so you get a Commercial certificate. xxx :) Happy contrails |
Hello BelArgUSA!
Thanks a lot for the quick reply :) I am happy it is not as difficult as i thought it would be!! |
nothing is as complicated---
in the states, as it is in the UK or europe,
especially when it comes to aviation--- nor as expensive! |
JAA to FAA
In order to convert JAA ATP to FAA ATP
do you need a current IR (ME)? Thanx |
You can't 'convert' your JAA ATP certificate (thank God), although FAA will recognize your aeronautical experience toward issuance of an FAA certificate.
You need to take the full FAA ATP written test and flight test. Make sure you have the required experience and I suggest some training before the checkride. |
:)
Will FAA recognize my aeronautical experience toward issuance of an FAA certificate, if I have IR ME which is no longer current. Thank you. |
Yes... the FAA will recognize your experience.... just depends on how much relevent experience you have and how current you are.. As for your IR lapsing... depends on when it lapsed... last week, or in 1997 ? Best thing is to ask them... the FAA website is pretty extensive...
Converting from JAA ATPL is straightforward.. the FAA written (as has been noted here many times before) is a complete joke compared to the JAR which is pretty much the equivilent to a BA in aviation studies in the states... the oral however offsets this to some extent... depends on who you get as an examiner... the flight test however is (or was in my case anyway) considerably more demanding than the CAA which seperates the general flying test from the IR portion.. In the US it's all combined.. my log book shows mine as being 2hrs 40min... almost all of this was under the hood with 2 precision and 3 non-precision approaches all but one were single engine with a multitude of 'quirks' thrown in by the examiner... again it depends on who you get... mine was fair but wasn't going to cut me any slack. |

xxx You can take your FAA ATP check ride without a current IR or ME rating. Actually, the ATP check will make you current again in category, class (and type if a type rating is required for the aircraft), as well as the instrument part, since the ATP includes an instrument competency check. And if it has not changed since my years in the USA, you do not even need an instructor's recommendation (for an ATP flight test). See FAR 61 for prerequisites for ATP flight test. xxx :) Happy contrails |
Sorry to butt in you guys.
Ive just added a Medium size Jet rating to my FAA ATP. At the moment the Country in SE Asia were I am working Now have validated my Temp Airman cert until the Expiry date in late December. Prob is still no sign of the new Licence back from OK City an I cant find out who to ask on the website. Any Ideas, Appreciated. Beers on me if you out this way. Thanks heaps,, |
Hola Kwai /
xxx What I understand from your thread is that you have been issued a temporary airman certificate from the FAA, valid 120 days, expiring in late December.... Oklahoma City will probably send you your "hard copy" early December, to the address written on that temporary certificate... It depends more or less how fast the postal delivery will be. xxx What beer is it...? Singha, Tiger, San Miguel, Tsin-Tao, Bintang??? xxx :) Happy contrails |
Hey there BelArg,
Thanks for the reply. If you in town Beer Sing Ok Na, Regards:cool: |
How about transferring my PIC type rating from CAD ATPL to my FAA ATP? Do I have to take a type ride with the Feds?
|
Getting an SIC type rating also seems, according to the FSDO, to NOT be possible if based on training/checking done by a foreign carrier or personnel. If the training program is not FAA approved and the checks, etc., are not done by FAA designees in FAA checked simulators, they wouldn't be valid for adding the SIC type rating to your US certificate, no matter HOW MANY signatures you get!
However, the FAA does have a special deal with Canada. If you have a Canadian license it's pretty easy to get the equivalent US license and ratings with only paperwork. |
hi guys i have FAA ATP written ME IR Plus A-320 RATING does any 1 can tell me the procedure to convert FAA ATP wirtten to JAA ?
thanks |
Sorry but there is no way to convert the FAA writtens... how do you 'convert' an hour on a computer to 14 paper exams totalling something like 20 hours ? I hadn't opened a study book in 15 yrs until 2 1/2 days before sitting my FAA ATPL... I scored 87% in slightly under 1 hr... it's laughable.
|
Thought you have to do the FAA written to convert your CPL license. Even with our Canadian licenses we have to write a written now to convert it. And our licenses are so close they're thinking of merging them as one. (Except we still learn spins?)

FAA IR currency
Quick question regarding IR currency of my FAA IR. I left my FARAIM in the last move and been in JAA land a bit too long now.
Last IPC i did was 1/07/2007 (January 7th) Then i traveled home to the EU and did my JAA IR in July/August/Sept (in a BE76 ME). Since this i have flown at least 20 approaches in a B737-800 FFS at SAS Flig.. err Oxford Flight Academy in Stockholm Sweden during my B737 type rating. Does this cover my IR proficency for my FAA Cert? But then again My FAA Cert was issued 14th of Dec. 2005, so i guess i have to do a PC anyways? What about my ME on the FAA ticket? done in Febuary 2005. Sorry about all the questions, If I wasnt 2kg overweight i would have kept that FARAIM :ugh::ugh: |
FAA conversion paperwork
I'm curious to know how long it takes the FAA to varify your foreign license (after sending in the form and copy of license)?
|
I had a student with an Australian certificate who came to the US for a rating. He was told it would take 60-90 days for the validation.
|
I got an FAA from my Canadian and the process was done in less than 2 weeks
|
Sorry to re-iterate on an already asked question, but,
Did I understand that if you hold a JAA CPL you can get an FAA CPL issued on the strength of it? I understand for the JAA to CAA IR Conversion there is a written exam and a flight test plus an oral, but is this not the same for a JAA CPL conversion? Thanks folks |
It's not possible to just walk in to any FSDO and pick up a licence any more. :(
Paperwork exercise required first. :mad: A very helpful guy in Oklahoma FAA told me up to 8 weeks processing time from today. :eek: Details on FAA website. :8 Good luck! :ok: |
If I want to get myself a FAA ATPL based on my JAA one, do I need a FAA Medical? And what would the approach be, if I wanted a "stand alone" FAA licence?

ATP check during type rating
Hello,
I currently hold a JAR CPL fATPL and will soon go for a type rating in the US. Is it possible to obtain a FAA ATP by doing a check ride during the type rating provided that I have the ATP FAA theory and all the required experience ? If yes, should I first obtain an FAA license conversion or is it possible to proceed directly to an ATP issuance ? Thank you for the help ! |
Converting FAA type rating to JAA
Could anyone inform me about converting an FAA type rating to JAA.

licence conversion
Hi guys,
Im an Australian licenced pilot thinking of heading over to the States to do a block of twin time building in Florida. I've read a fair bit about converting JAA but nothing in great detail about converting an Aussie licence. Anyone out there that has any experience on this matter? Cheers:ok: |
For the Man from Oz
Same rules for everyone. If you've already got the ME and an IR on your Oz license, take the IR written exam, then present all at the FSDO when you get to the States. You'll get your FAA PPL SEL/MEL, IR issued based on your Aussie ticket.
Have fun on your block time.:ok: |
