Licence Conversion to JAA

Canadian to UK licence conversion

Hey everybody!

I currently live in Canada, and I'm currently in a college pilot program. I've obtained my Canadian PPL and I'm currently working on my CPL (written exam in 3 days actually ) By the time I'm done in December, I will have my Canadian CPL, and Multi-IFR ratings with approximately 203 hrs under my belt.

I have dual citizenship between Canada and the UK as my mom is from Britain. I'm thinking of moving to England to take the JARS so I can get my UK licensing. I don't know much about the hour requirements or where I would go to take the ground school. I eventually want to get my ATPL. It would be great if somebody could shed some light on the situation.

Thanks

yeah, I knew about Moncton Flight College. It's just that I have family in England and thought that it would be cheaper for me to stay with family, then pay for living expenses in a new city. That's why I'm inquiring about where to get this done in England. I'm sure that the cost of living expenses outweighs the cost of getting the licensing done overseas.

Additionally, it doesn't answer my question of what to do. Am I required to take the JAA-CPL exams? Or can I jump straight into a frozen JAA-ATPL?

one more question about the topic. I have my FAA commercial license with multi and instrument raing. currently i have 1700 hours, about 600 hours multi crew in a beech 1900, working for a regional here in the states. soon i will be getting a B737 type rating and the faa atp. few questions:
1. what are the chances of getting a job in europe?
2. what do i have to do to convert in the jaa system?
3. having the faa atp and a type rating, does it give you a shortcut to get the jaa conversion?

The answer is, it depends.

If you can tell me what type of license you have, and your flight experience, I can give you the correct answers and point you in the correct decision.

However, for example…

You have a Private in the Canada or the USA, and want a Frozen ATPL under JAR…

700 hours of ground school, 14 exams, multi-crew course, type-rating and skills test

Or, if you hold an ATPL from another country - with more than 3000 hours PIC in an aircraft with a take-off weight greater than 50,000 kgs - then you are exempt from everything except 2 exams.

Experience between these two, have various different requirements.

Tell me your license type, and your experience and I will tell you what you’ll need, who you can get it from, and how long it will take.

Cheers

Silly licence conversion question

If you are the holder of FAA or CAA CPL & IR and convert it to a JAA CPL & IR, do you still hold your previous license aswell, or does the ''new'' license cancels the previous one.

Thanks

You don't convert a FAA license to a JAA one. You take the ground exams and do some CPL flight training, take the flight test and get a JAA license. The only thing taken in consideration are you hours. So you will always have a FAA license since it's issued to you for live.

If you convert a CAA-> to JAA then you lose the CAA one.
