Differences between EASA and FAA IR?
Im the holder of a FAA IR, but I would like to convert my license to a EASA IR sometime soon.
Can somebody please tell me the main differences between these two ratings? I can only imagine the approaches are exactly the same in Europe as in US or am I totally wrong? :eek: What about procedures? Are there a big change here? Somebody please tell me the differences I have to consider when I am going for the conversion. |
Be prepared for the two main issues:
1) Huge amounts of theory covering all sorts of stuff you never knew you needed to know [because you don't]. 2) Lots of flying using an ADF needle, in particular holding patterns and, less problematic 3) a bit more procedures using DME-based navigation; markers are rare 4) much fewer GPS approaches 5) a quite formulaic, predictable test format with no oral exam [you could see that as a plus] Actually flying IFR has its own challenges (CFMU / flight planning, problems routing at lower levels) |
