FAA CPL to CAAP CPL

[Piper2897m]

I understand that if one wants to fly for hire in the Philippines I have to convert my FAA CPL to CAAP CPL. And I would have to fly a number of hours in a RP-C registered aircraft. Does anyone know how many hours I would have to fly in a RP-C aircraft before being issued a Philippines CPL? Is it true that I would have to fly 200 hours in RP-Aircraft before being issued a Philippines CPL?

I have a CPL with 400 TT

Thanks for any answers

Exactly, 200 hrs for a CPL.
Well, if you fly for a Company it won't take too long mate.

But how are you going to fly for a company if you dont have a Philippines CPL?

When you say Company, do you mean flight school?

Edit: Iv been doing some research, are you saying that if im able to get a work visa and my FAA CPL licence validated that I can get a Job ie FI ''exercising the privileges granted by the validation certificate" to build up to the 200 hour mark in order to get my FAA converted over to a full PH CPL licence?

... you attain a Validation first - this gives you the right to fly Philippine registered aircraft under the privileges of your foreign licence until you have the 200hrs to convert.

The Validation is a certificate... you'll need to fly at least 10hrs and pass a check ride to attain it or alternatively if going straight to the airlines pass a sim check with a CAAP examiner.

All correct! Validation first it's a long process , be prepared to do done running around.

thanks for the clearing that up, I always thought that you had to rent a plane and fly with a FI to gain the 200 hours.
