About £50,000.

ICAO CPL CONVERSIO INTO EASA

Good evening everybody,
I am a Military Pilot holding an ICAO CPL license issued on 2004 with a ME/IR expired on 2005 and all 14 ATPL exams passed. So far, I didn' t manage to convert the licence either into JAR o EASA (didn' t have the requirement).
After april the 8th 2014, will I still be able to get the license converted or will I have to get another CPL/IR and retake all the exams.

Thanks to anybody who will provide me an answer.

Bull...

You can get the ATPLs for £1399 at CATS.
The conversion can be done in various places in Europe for around £4000.
MCC in Germany for £1800

Then there are examination fees and issuance of license. But nowhere close to £50000

Where was the ICAO licence issued? If it was a UK National licence there may be a way - take a look at CAP 804.

The licence was issued in Italy.
I think there is a lot of confusion around this topic...... Somebody says that if not converted by april the 8th the licence is lost and so all the ATPL exams, but Italian CAA circular states that "you loose the licence priviledges unti you do not convert it".

Yeah 50 K is stretching it a bit but by the time you've got all the groundschool done including exam fees, travel, hotels etc you've still got the flying to do and that can cost up to 20,000+ depending on where you do it, how current you are, procedural differences to be unlearned / learned, atc fees, parking fees etc etc......

You hear of people doing it for less than that but it's not the norm. I would say a budget of £25000 should safely cover everything if you really commit to it.

Ground school (distance learning) should cost around £2K for the course, £850 accomm/food for a couple of weeks. Add the 14 exams at £69 each, £3000 in round figures, excluding travel.
