Conversion for flying in Europe
Just interested in what is required to gain employment in europe (particularly spain)
If i've got the hour requirements, CASA CPL + ATPL - what is the next course to work in europe? Surely I won't require Spanish/JAA CPL Theory passes? what about ATPL? Basically I'd like to in 5yrs time live in europe for a bit, just want to look into what is required for me to convert so I can both stay current and also gain employment. |
You'll also need the right to work within the EU. In the past sponsorship has been available but there's certainly enough unemployed ATPLs wandering around Europe that sponsorship is no longer required.
You're going to have to give it a few months and then see what happens with all the EASA nonsense. Supposedly you'll be able to get an EASA licence and this will be valid in all contracting states. The reality, with individual 'differences' being filed may well mean something different. |
LASORS is a good summary of EASA licensing rules. It is slightly out of date but still valid enough for reference I think. Section D paragraph D1.5 refers to your situation if I understand correctly.
Basically:
Regarding theory, note that the CPL theory exams and the IR theory exams are both merely a subset of the ATPL exams, so 99% of wannabees just do the ATPL exams up front and get it all out of the way. While of course you'll want to shop around, but if you're still keen, CTC in New Zealand can give you some advice to get you started. Good luck, O8 |
Don`t do it in Germany, cause you have to do all 14 theory exams in 3 consecutive days!
Here is the EASA link: EASA Flight Standards: FAQs |
Last time I checked there was a company in WA that does all the atpl stuff inc exams.
