FAA licence from a JAA.

[Flarechecklevel]

Hi guys. I am not a regular on here so forgive me if this has been asked already and I haven't seen it. I've searched through past posts but the nearest answer I can find to my question is dated 2006 ... And things change so quickly.

I hold a UK issued JAA CPL (H) with IR. I am fully current, flying in the UK, VFR and IFR for a UK operator and have 4500 hours. All my exams are to ATPL level but because I am not flying a multi crew type, I do not hold the JAA ATPL. I do hold the MCC certificate.

I want to gain my FAA CPL/ATPL with IR and wish to get a heads up on how to go about doing it?

I would expect: - Paper work..., Exams ..., Verification of licenses ... and flight tests.

Can any/all of it be carried in the UK?

I would expect flight tests, so wonder what Heli they would be done on? I have never flown the R22 or 44 as I came through the military system. I do hold AS355, which I would expect to be the Heli of choice for any MEIR check?

Any help or steerage would be welcomed.

Thanks for taking the time.

No MEIR rating

Hey FCL

There is no such thing as MEIR in the States, you only have Rotorcraft Helicopter rating on your certificate, all helos below 12,500 lbs do not require a type rating. So you could pass your ATP ride on a Hugues 300, it would state the exact same thing on your ATP certificate as if you had done it on a AS355. It should all be pretty straight forward!
