- Holder of U.K. JAA Night Qualification.
- Hold ICAO PPL (The FAA PPL)
And ofcours ATPL Theory done, Have completed a qualifying cross country flight of 300 nautical miles ....

You do not need to add night. What you need for CPL is an ICAO PPL with night privalages, which is "built in" with the FAA PPL.
I would say that the night training that I got in the US is not very good. I would consider doing the NQ here to be a better pilot. Also with minimum hours you would not have 5 hours night for the CPL issue.

Excellent! Because FAA PPL is cheaper and i guess easier to achieve.
I'm not much into making it with minimum time. I want to do it well. So adding a couple of hours to the NQ is not an issue.
However there is another question i'd appreciate having answered. How many hours can i count in when i fly with the FAA PPL for the JAA CPL?
I know for a JAA CPL you will need minimum 150h including certain amount of PIC, cross country etc...
Can i count ALL hours i fly with the FAA PPL (and correct type of flying that is 100h pic, cross country...) for the JAA CPL?

What you need for CPL is an ICAO PPL with night privalages, which is "built in" with the FAA PPL.
The 3 hours dual count but there are futher requirments to this:
LASORS states in D1.2 (d) c.
5 hours night flying comprising of at least 3 hours of dual instruction, including at least 1 hour of cross-country navigation, and 5 solo take-offs and full stop landings.
If you do not already meet his it also states in D1.2 that:
An applicant who does not already hold a night qualification/rating (Aeroplane) shall be given additionally at least 5 hours of night flight instruction

one other little pointer. Even if you have an RT licence, it will NOT cover you to fly aircraft outside the USA on a FAA PPL. You will need to get an FCC certificate - quite esay just $60 on the FCC website - sent to you within a week!!

So is there any point in doing JAA PPL? If you're going to U.S.A for training anyways is it best to get FAA then for sake of less expense?
