What new JARs? AFAIK there hasn't been any great change wrt training/converting since they were introduced.

Use the search function & you'll find **heaps** about converting.

thanks guys.
There was a loop hole between Holding an australian ATPL, converting to the FAA fairly easily then an easy conversion to the JAR that someone told me that I'm trying to source.

I'll let you all know if I find anything substantial

Doubt you'll find anything. There were rumours of such a thing years ago but no one ever seemed able to confirm it. **IF** it ever existed then it was more likely during the transition to JAR when things were a bit topsy turvy.

Bula,
There is talk of "streamlining" the FAA to JAA conversion. That may come in during 2006 or something. However, if you read the proposal very carefully very few people will benefit. It's not unlike those guys with 3000TT with +1500hours in command on +30 tonne a/c etc only having to do 2 exams. (in the UK).

From memory, the proposal was fine untill you wanted to add a multi pilot a/c to your licence. Then you basicly had to have done the 14 exams.

It's a great shortcut but benefits very few.

Have a look here. "Billiebob" has a good handle on it.
