FAA Transfer - Is it possible to do TR/CPL as one?
Hello all,
A slight variation to the typical "how to" licence transfer question. And it's a 2 part question.
As I don't currently have an ATPL (Thanks Greek HCAA 🙄 ), it means I will have to convert a CPL to FAA CPL.
After completing the initial transfer that gives me a FAA PPL, I will then conduct the required flight training for the CPL. Crawling through Part 61, it looks like I will need 20hrs flight training.
Is it possible to do the required flight time as part of the type rating? (excluding the 5hrs in a SE as I have pointed out in the following text)
Part 61 states:
(3) 20 hours of training on the areas of operation listed in §61.127(b)(1) of this part that includes at least—(i) Ten hours of instrument training using a view-limiting device including attitude instrument flying, partial panel skills, recovery from unusual flight attitudes, and intercepting and tracking navigational systems. *Five hours of the 10 hours required on instrument training must be in a single engine airplane;*
(ii) 10 hours of training in a complex airplane, a turbine-powered airplane, or a technically advanced airplane (TAA) that meets the requirements of paragraph (j) of this section, or any combination thereof. The airplane must be appropriate to land or sea for the rating sought;
To me, all of these manoeuvres are carried out during the type rating, and, would cover the flight time requirements.
Part 2 of the question.
Can the CPL and TR flight test be carried out at the same time?
Thanks in advance!

This is an interesting question. I would suggest contacting a type rating training organization in the USA like Flight Safety. They have examiners on staff who you can direct questions to and get answers.
I did an ATP check ride and TR in the sim with only a foreign CPL but don't know if you can do the the CPL checkride in the sim only.
