Clarification about conveting please..

[mattpilot]

lets say i have a FAA CPL+IR and want to convert it to a JAA CPL.... all that is needed is 15 hours of training from a JAA instructor and a checkride, correct?

How many hours for the IR? and how many hours for the ME? and how many hours for the Rotorcraft helicopter (all CPL)?


I also assume a ground class in JAA rules would be necessary, right?


thanks for any help in clarifying!

I have no clue to advance your cause, except to suggest that correct spelling in the title would not be adverse.

sorry mate ... english is my second language.. But you are right! I could of used a spellchecker.



(besides, it's only a small typo )

From what I remember......
CPL- training as required. Normally around 5-10 hours. CPL Skills Test. Hours are set by the training school you use.

IR- 15 hours. Skills Test.
If, what you want at the end of it all is your JAR ATPL then passes in all 14 written exams.

Do a search on these forums. There are many, many threads about the process.

14 ground exams.
IR ME 15 hours including up to 10 sim + flight test
IR SE to IR ME 20 hours up to 13 sim + flight test
CPL training as required + flight test
MEP training as required + flight test + exam

I am afraid I don't know about Rotorcraft helicopter.
