Yeah, while we are nit picking, the night + day does not equal TT. Dual + PIC does not equal TT

maybe the dual time he quoted includes non flight time (ie dual in simulator)??

taiwo85, a good start would be to have a look at: https://www.casa.gov.au/standard-pag...-pilot-licence

I think (but may be wrong) for you, you would be looking at a minimum 200hrs, some requires particular time to be in non rotary and some of the cross country time requires particular conditions you will need to meet .

It's hard to give the advice you are ultimately after. The harsh responses are not justified but honestly good info is impossible to give based on the limited information you have provided. Do you have a FAA CPL? If not simply look at the hour requirements for the initial issue of an AUST CPL. You will need to pass some theory exams. It is generally easier to get a FAA CPL and then look to transfer it but if this is already the case your hours look very light in both PIC hours and total hours which won't be overlooked. Some cross crediting of rotary hours may be possible. Without more info, you're not going to get much help from PPRUNE. As an aside there are numerous previous threads on this. CASA also has a section dedicated to it. It's not that hard to find. Good luck.

Plebs we may be but there is so much info out there about licence conversion that the answer should not be too hard to find.

Calling CASA or an Australian based flight training provider would be the first things that come to mind. Failing that then maybe try pprune.

I generally find people sometimes don't want to do any research themselves, just get the answer from somebody else.

I would say the sarcastic comments are a response to this phenomenon.

i trained in an Faa facility in USA once you get your PPL licence you log in your hours
while training for instrument to you are also flying under hood so you log that in also

in Usa you have a required pic to get while been a student pilot, once you get your ppl as you are been given flight instruction while flying it still counts as both pic and dual time also when you are doing your instrument training under the hood you still log in the hours as pic , i hope i broke it down clearly i guess its different in australia ???
