ICAO to EASA: Worth it
Hi guys,
I have a South African CPL with ME/IR and frozen ATPL and instructor rating. Just moved to Austria, and would like to convert my license. Unfortunately it seems that no-one can give a straight answer or process, but are very eager to start taking your money. In any case, it seems that whatever you do, it will be prohibitively expensive. I cannot really justify spending about as much to convert my license that what I paid for most of my CPL training, when we need these funds to get settled in Europe etc. Some advice would help a lot 1) Worth it? With only 350hrs, it seems like a fart in a thunderstorm. My previous history as a navigator counts for nothing it seems. 2) Anybody that recently completed this process that could give me some advice? 3) Timeframe: is it at all possible to do the exams in a shorter time than 8 months indicated? Thanks for your inputs. |
If you have the time, you can do the studying in around 6 months or less - the SA exam questions are just as daft as the EASA ones so there will be some familiarity.

Thanks. For the short term, I can be a full-time student so studying should be able to go quickly.

You should also check flight schools in Hungary and Czech Republic which are just a few car hours from Vienna. Austrian schools will be significantly more expensive for the conversion.
