US FAA cert. to ICAO cert.
I am looking for any information on ICAO certification with United States FAA equivalent certificates. Specifically:
-What "automatically" transfers to ICAO certification?
-What knowledge/flight evaluation is required?
-Any good schools or programs that specialize in the process?
-Or simply, what is a good reference to find out on my own?
Thank you,
Jeff

ICAO
A US/FAA airman certifiate (pilot, other flight crewmember, mechanic) is by itself an ICAO document. No testing for certification required, the USA is, like most nations of the world, a member of ICAO.

My FAA pilot certificate was the basis for issuance of various ICAO member state aviation licence validations when I worked for airlines of these nations. Some countries indeed place some restrictions on such validations.

Not only validations, but complete ATPL's as well (with some exceptions, of course).
The only exception in my case is my 'ole RLD ATPL (now expired, I believe)...this required significant study, many years ago.
'Twern't easy...

Ok, so this is good news... I'm showing my ignorance here: Is there an actual ICAO document, or you just use your FAA tickets to perform duties under ICAO rules?
If there is an actual ICAO license, how do I go about applying? Fees involved? (I'm sure there are...) Thanks guys, Jeff

exception ... no easy conversion for helicopter pilots - yet.
(As I write this the stupid link is broken. I don't know if it's been changed or if there's an Indian or Canadian network problem). In any case there are several threads on this forum dealing with the conversion).

From the ICAO website. Frequently asked Questions (presumably infrequently read answers ?)
ICAO does not issue any licences. Licences issued by ICAO Contracting States on the basis of Standards and Recommended Practices of Annex 1 – Personnel Licensing, are habitually called ICAO licences. This has led many to believe that there is a specific ICAO or international licence. The fact is that there is not one single international licence issued by ICAO or any other organization. States issue their own licences based on national regulations in conformity with Annex 1 specifications and validate licences issued by other Contracting States on the basis of bilateral or multilateral agreements or the fulfilment of nationally legislated requirements.
