Converting FAA CPL to JAA CPL

Can anyone tell me..... can this flight test be done in a single engine aeroplane???

I am going to convert my IR by doing 10hrs on the single and 5 on the multi. Then I should end up with a CPL multi IR right?

I have a similar question. Do you know if there are any minimum hour requirement for getting the JAA CPL? Rumors say 200, but i have not confirmed it...

You need 200 hours to have the JAA CPL issued but as you are converting an FAA CPL which requires 250 hours that shouldn't be an issue.

A JAA licence is not restricted to specific aeroplane categories - It is the same licence whether you fly a SEP, MEP or a B777. The aircraft on which you can exercise the privileges of your licence is determined by the separate aircraft rating(s) attached to it.

If you pass the CPL Skill Test on a SEP aeroplane, you will be issued with a CPL that includes a SEP Class Rating. To add a MEP Class Rating, you will need to complete an approved MEP Class Rating course (7 hours TK and 6 hours flight training, including 3.5 hours asymmetric) and pass the MEP Class Rating Skill Test.

Thanks for the answer. I looked it up, and found the requirements in JAR-FCL 1.155(c). I've been training on a FAA part 141 program, which can give you the FAA-CPL in far less than 250 hours.

JAR-FCL 1.155(c) for modular course students:
Flight time. The applicant shall have
completed in aeroplanes during the modular course
200 hours of flight time including at least:
(1) 100 hours as pilot-in-command,
(2) 20 hours of [VFR] cross-country
flight time as pilot-in-command, including a
cross-country flight totalling at least 540 km
(300 NM) in the course of which full-stop
landings at two aerodromes different from the
aerodromes of departure shall be made;
(3) 10 hours of instrument instruction
time, of which not more than 5 hours is to be
instrument ground time; and
(4) 5 hours of night flight time, as set
out in JAR–FCL 1.165(b).
