Foreign ATPL(A) Conversion to CASA ATPL(A)
Hi all,
I have just moved back to Australia after flying in the Middle East the past 5 years and have started the conversion process with CASA for my foreign GCAA ATPL(A). Just wondering if anyone has info on how long it usually takes CASA to approve the 61-4A Form (basically approves your docs to write the AOSA exam)?
I got the AOSA study books from AFT whilst overseas, but now they are delayed in my cargo - any info where I can buy these ‘used’ or borrow them until I actually receive my kit so I can get the ball rolling with the study?
I have a 737 type rating and previously held a CASA CPL(A) as well, but figured easier to convert my foreign ATPL(A) than have to write all the ATPL subjects. I have > 8000 hours multi crew experience so I presume I don’t have to do the MCC course either?
It’s all a big grey between the fine print, so if anyone can shed some light on foreign ATPL conversions - that would be great! Thanks in advance!

Every person converting a foreign licence is most likely faced with differing circumstances regards, licences, country of origin, age, medical status, etc

Hi Petropavlovsk, thanks so much for your reply! Totally appreciate what you mentioned above, but I reckon the process is fairly similar. I already am in contact with CASA with my initial application. What I'm looking for is any general advice! Also, was hoping to get some information on access to books/study material for AALW and AHUF.

Would just need to do a law exam and a sim ride for the NZ licence, could transfer your 737 ratings to them (you would probably get multiple 737 rating if coming from flydubai the way they categorize the varieties)
