You do realize that it's a rather long process to validate your license with CAAP don't you?
You are going to need a CAAP medical, Air Law exam, English Level Proficiency test, Philippine Radio license, and then you will have to fly an RP registered airplane and take a CAAP check ride (or sim check).
Are you trying to get a job in the Philippines?

Yes I know,
The process from what I have been told is 2-3 months.
Yes, I would like to become FI in Phils
I realize the whole process is a pain in the ass, aviation is a tough business

Are you aware of the incredible low standards in the Philippines? Are you aware a CAAP license is not acceptable in most of the world, and having this on a resume is a job killer?
And are you aware of the horrible low pay?
And finally, you will be treated as a second class citizen while there.
Honestly, there are MUCH better places to go.

Yes, I have been to the Phils 6 times, know the place well
I dont care about the low pay because ill have other money coming in from other sources. Last time I checked CFIs in the U.S. dont make a fortune either. Its for time building.
I understand that a CAAP license is only good in Phils,
My main concern is that Westerns have NO rights in Philippines, and I could spend a bunch of money and nothing at the end of it either. We have NO rights there.
Sometimes I wish I just bought a yacht and sailed the world, probably alot easier then getting into the Aviation industry.
Anyway, about the CAR exam, how many questions is that? I mean I have studied about 2 chapters online, out of maybe I think 15 chapters? Each PDF download is incredibly long.

You are not raining on my parade, Conversion or not ill still be a regular visitor of the Phils. Its a Wonderful country, for a VISIT, I agree living there is a different matter. The novelty of Beautiful women and Palm trees im sure would wear off after a year
Now, The flight school im in communication with has about 6 foreign FIs
So let me ask you, do you think they live in the Phils and thats as far up the ladder they want to go, or just transient Pilots building hours?
