JAA to FAA conversion. Flight Instructor Rating?
Hi Folks,
I´m currently in the process of getting my FAA licenses.
As I already had JAA CPL, I´ve been granted an FAA PPL.
In my JAA license I have single, multi, instrument and flight instructor rating.
My local FSDO has already endorsed my private license with SE and ME, and... as I have undergone the knowledge test for the instrument rating... I have the instrument as well.
Now here comes the question... I have been told at FSDO that once I have my commercial license, they can endorse me the CFI as well, based on the flight instructor rating I have on my JAA license.
Anyone knows if this is right?
I didn´t know that I could add all my JAA ratings, and even my company didn´t know about this, as they´re training me for my CFI.
As the company is paying my training, I discard that they want me to go through the full process to get my money. I´d like to ask it here first just in case. Maybe some of you know where in the FARs I can check this.
I have tried a forum search but FAA and CFI are 3 words, and the forum doesn´t bother to search if it´s less than 4 characters
Thanks a lot in advance!
Kind regards,
Pablo

Hi!
well... I'll post over there too. As there's a lot less activity and the instructors forum has an European flavor I thought I could try here.
This question has a bit of technical-airlaw so I thought it could be an option.
Thanks for your hint!
