rotary to fixed wing

Hi this has probably been answered before but I can't find a definitive answer:
What is involved in converting either a JAA or FAA PPL(H) to a JAA/FAA PPL(A)?
I know that going the other direction you have to do most of the rotary course, but I'm curious about this scenario? Anyone done it?

For JAA, the conversion from (H) to (A) is exactly the same as (A) to (H) i.e. 10% of your hours can be credited up to max of 6 hours so the minimum time in which to complete is 39 hours. I believe you only have to do a Principles of Flight exam.

For FAA, it is an add-on to your licence.

Cheers

Thanks for that quick response! Do you know if someone with the faa add on could fly fixed wing in europe, just as they are allowed on their rotary license?
