License Conversion to FAA

[B2N2]

Hi Lomcovak,

You need to do the following;

1. Apply for US "restricted" PPL based on your JAR license
2. Pass FAA Instrument written test
3. Training as required to pass the FAA IR flight test, the IR will now be added to the "restricted" license as " US test passed".
4.Pass the FAA CPL written test
5. Training as required to pass the FAA CPL flight test ME.

You can study for the written tests by using eg Gleim software, ASA or other test prep software.

How much of this could I do in the UK.

I am sure you can find a US certified Instructor to help out with the ground studies, ME flight time is much cheaper in the US.

Ps any recommendations for Uk schools for the FAA ratings.

The problem is finding an FAA examiner to come over to the UK to conduct the flight tests.
What aircraft did you have in mind to do this?

[Lomcovack]

Many thanks B2N2.

Dont really mind which aircraft.

I understand this is ballpark but if I got the faa licence via validation and sat the ground school in the UK.

What sort of air time would I need to complete the IR and CPL assuming I am in current Multi IF.

Regards,

Lomcovack

Unfortunately that is always very hard to say.
Current, meaning 6 approaches in the last 6 months, but how many recently? How much flight time recently?
You have to keep in mind differences in airspace, RT phraseology, IR procedures that you will need to learn.
I would reckon at least 6-10 hrs, 4-6 instructional flights.
You could off course practice in a sim or even a computer simulator to get familiar with the local approaches.

Here are the requirements for the CPL

i am 99% sure that you dont have to pass an IR flight test. If you bring your JAA licenses in an FAA office, they will give you a PPL. Then you pass the written test for the IR which is only 50 questions, bring it there and you get the IR in your PPL. The only flight test you have to do is for the CPL.(plus the written)

Try calling Tom at Businessair in Norwich, he can do writens and Flight tests, i just had my finger prints done there

[B2N2]

Yes you DO. What you are referring to is the "Foreign Pilot Instrument written test" which is indeed the only test you need to do to add a fooreign IR to the restricted PPL.
However,a foreign instrument rating does NOT carry over to the CPL.
You will the have PPL-IR (restricted) and FAA CPL (VFR only)
For the IR to carry over it needs to be "US test passed".

FAA Bianual (HELP!)

Hi,

I have an FAA comercial/multiengine/instrument license, but havent flown in the past 3 years, and havent flown instruments since i got the license which was about 6 years ago.

My question is, is there somewhere here in europe where i can get the bianual done (i live in portugal).
The second question is what do i need to do to reactivate my instrument and multiengine licenses...

I am trying to convert the FAA to JAA and most probably i need to have the FAA one active.

Thank You
Renny Cichella

There's an FAA examiner in the Netherlands, see http://www.basic6aviation.com/

I'm sure there's more, that's just one that I know of. Good luck

There are obviously some here in the UK but not too sure about the continent. Surely there has to be one, why not go to the FAA website and see if there are 'registered' schools or examiners in your country that provide this service. Alternatively get a cheap air ticket and dash to the USA and get it done there over a weekend

[Cirius]

As a follow-up to the above, instead of doing the tests in the UK, if you were to go to the US to do the above tests:
1) would you need obtain TSA clearance and a visa? I am assuming that this would be required as 'training' is taking place rather than just hours building.
2) if obtaining the CPL IR/ME - would you need to do a Single Engine CPL test followed by a separate ME test? Would you be required to do 2 tests for the IR also (one for the SE and one for the ME)?
3) Can anyone recommend a school in the Atlanta area for doing the above training as I may be going over to this region in a couple of months? Especially one that can assist with the TSA and visa process if it is required.
Thanks very much.

Tsuru, all conversions from ICAO licenses are the same so:

2. Pass FAA Instrument written test
3. Training as required to pass the FAA IR flight test, the IR will now be added to the "restricted" license as " US test passed".
4.Pass the FAA CPL written test

foreign license conversion

i'm new in this site and i'm looking for somebody who can give me an insight on getting my FAA commercial cert.

I've already sent my application to Oklahoma City and I'm still waiting for the results. Are there any schools that can fast track my applicaton? By the way, I'm A320 rated from where I came from.

Thanks in advance who ever gives time to this inquiry.

JAA licence conversion to FAA ATP

Hi all,

Currently I have a JAA CPL/IR with more than 1500hrs. I want to convert it into a FAA ATP and am wondering what costs are involved and how best to do it. Which schools are the best for this?

Thanks

Canadian ATPL conversion to FAA ATPL

As I just went through this, I thought that I would post the link to the thread in the Canada forum where I described my experience. Specifically, the study software that I used was spot on!

ICAO CPL-IR conversion to FAA

I have a Pakistan CAA issued CPL/IR license. I'm looking to convert this license into a FAA equilivalent license. Could someone please inform me about the procedure and requirements, and whether it is possible to convert this license from a country other than the US.

Thank You
