Anyone know a good place to convert FAA to JAA?
I have an FAA CPL ME/IR and want to end up with a JAA fATPL.
Is there anyone here who has made this conversion and if so, where, how and how much?
Also, if I converted in Spain for instance, would the end result be the same as if I converted in the UK?
I plan to do the ATPL ground school in Bristol. Its the flying part I'm not so sure about.
Thanks!

As you know, you need to do the 14 ATPL exams. Once you've got over that mountain the flying isn't so bad.
CPL conversion training prior to test is simply "as required". 200hrs total time and a 300nm cross-country are prerequisites, but you're probably fine in those respects.
IR conversion requires 15 hours training prior to test.
Spain and the UK are both JAA states, so you get a JAA CPL/IR (fATPL) whichever way you do it.

Try Airways Flight Training Exeter. They do a lot of Military and Foreign Licence conversions and have quite a reputation for it. It'll pretty much be a case of hours as required for the CPL and IR once you've completed the ATPL exams. Allow about 8-10+ hrs for the CPL and about 20+ hours for the IR.

Licence Conversions
If you're going to Bristol Ground School, why not drop into Bristol Flying Centre, they have been conducting flight training for licence conversions for years and are well experienced to deliver your requirements. Good luck !
