EASA ATPL to Canadian to FAA
 

How do I get an a Canadian ATP?

How do I convert it to an FAA ATP. (I did the FAA ATP written July 2014)

7500 hours
737 rated on Easa license (rating not current but license is current)
777 rated on Chinese license (current)

Would I still have to do the FAA CTP even though I have done the standard part 21 ATP written prior to the deadline?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :ok:

I know nothing about getting a Transport Canada license.

If you hold a Canadian license the FAA will issue the same level certificate with just a paper shuffle between Transport Canada and the FAA. Or back the other way. from FAA to TC. However the TC or FAA license that is being converted can not be based on a third country license.

Your current written test is valid until the end of July. After that it will be void and you will have to complete the CTP and pass the new ATM written for a ME ATP.

It used to be a bit of a "paper shuffle" for the TC to FAA conversion; when I did it 6 or so years ago it was getting the FAA to verify my Canadian ATPL (yes, we add the extra "L" on there) which took about 6 weeks, then writing a short exam, getting the FAA medical, then going to a FSDO to get the license issued. However this has recently changed and it's much more complicated and involved (and expensive) - there are some threads about it on the avcanada.ca forum, so I suggest you do a search there if you're still interested... (but do mind what the above poster mentioned re: the license being converted must be a stand-alone one.)

I am in the process of converting my FAA ATP to TC ATP.
I wrote two exams FAAAA (ATP) and FAAIA (IR), 25 questions each and you need to score 70% in each.
You need to be current in last 24 months (not exactly sure about that it might b 12 months) and they also need IPC (FAR 61.57 1&2). It doesn't matter if you did recurrent training in sim if you are flying big birds you will still need IPC.

I hope I was able to help. Please do let me know if you have any more questions will try my best to answer.

Cheers!

You have two years from the date of FAA ATP written test to undertake ATP check-ride without doing CTP.

Not quite. You have two years from the end of the month in which you passed the ATP written.

The only reason I mention it is that I had someone mention their exam pass lapsed in the early part of a month when they had several more weeks to go.

Yeah you have "24 calendar months" of exam validity.

Can you tell me why you want to convert to Canadian and then to FAA? Why not FAA conversion directly?
