Shanghai or OKAY airlines and CAAC ATP
 

Hello all, i have interviews coming up with these two. Can anyone tell me about them and also about taking the course to convert the FAA ATPL to Chinese one. Thanks!

Should either take you on they will fix up your tempory Chinese validation on your FAA licence and subsequently your Chinese exams for your Chinese licence. Used to be, that is two years ago, an Airmans exam, (met, theory of flight, medical questions), English Comprehension and English RT test. Air Law was verbal. The Chinese medical is different but not too much trouble.
The CAAC produce CDRs with practice exams which your chosen company would have. Overall not too difficult but sometimes the questions are hard work to understand.
There is a thread on this forum 'Chinese Written Test', which will give you more information.

hello
 

Thanks, have you been working in China? I flew the B737 in India for awhile and wondering if its comparable.

an ATPL exam mainly based on the FAA question bank (MET, Air Law, General Knowledge, Aerodynamics, 737/320 performance charts), have added more questions from the JAA and CASA to make it harder within the last two years. Passing mark is a 70%. Possibly an ICAO English exam...listening/speaking 30% and interview 70%. The medical is definitely in more detail than in North America, usually two day process but fairly straight forward.
