School in EU for a fast FAA-PPL Conversion
 

Hey folks!

I'm new to the forum but I visited this page already hundreds of times. Thanks for all the knowledge in here! :ok:

I am an FAA private pilot with a bit more than 100 hours. As a US and Swiss citizen I learned to fly in the States and now back in Switzerland, where I grew up, I want to convert to EASA-FCL. I started the validation here but I'm getting frustrated as it takes forever (forever is about 4 months) so far. I don't want to imagine how long it would take for the conversion, so that's the question:
Do you know of any flight schools with conversion programs?

The course should take me all the way to the licence. If it takes a few weeks that's okay. The UK would be great as I'm probably going to work there for half a year. But if you know of any flight school with such a program anywhere in Europe just tell me.

Maybe I can work out something with my Swiss flight school. But I want to check out my options. Thanks a lot!

I know only one flight school with such a course yet. This one in Germany...
Flugschule Umschreibung und Anerkennung ausländischer Lizenzen

It should not that long at all. Without knowing more details such as number of hours its impossible to be precise. However your best bet is to look in LASORS (do a google search for the 2010 version) Section C pages 3&4

You will need to pass either all the JAR PPL exams or just two depending on experience, training as required and pass the skills test.

This could be done in a few days if the latter.

I already know about the process. Question is, where to do the conversion?

It would be great to hear how other pilots converted from FAA to the EU...
