JAA to FAA - How do you do it?????

Hi all,

Just a quick question, i'm fATPL (A) & (H), just wondering how do you go about acquiring FAA ATP, tests, flight tests, costs etc.

Can it be done on this side of the pond?

many thanks in advance

stay safe,

A

So you're currently f(rozen) ATPL.
There is no frozen ATPL in the US, it only exists in Europa-land.
You can take the FAA ATP written test any time, no prerequisites.
It is valid for 24 months, like any other FAA written test.
You need 1500 hrs TT (amongst other things) to be eligible to take the check ride with an examiner.

There is no frozen ATPL in Europe either. Don't overlook 14 CFR 61.1(b)(3).

Interesting...simply being pretentious, are they?

Basically just a CPL/IR, ATP written completed, and still waiting for 1500 and 500 multi-crew?

Why do they insist on calling it frozen ATPL instead of CPL, ATP written completed?

Could an FAA CPL, with ATP written completed, 1500 and all the PIC time required, under the age of 23, be entitled to describe themselves as "frozen FAA ATPL?"
