Atp check ride
I have an icao cpl with 2000 hrs and and am currently flying as a FO on an a320 with over 1000 hrs on type.
After completing atp cpt course from the US, and clearly the written exam, can i then give my checkride on any ME aircraft?my guess is it's cheapest to get rated on a dual piston and then give my check. Is that so? Can i book a a320 simulator and give my flight check on that? Or would i have to get the rating endorsed first |
can i then give my checkride on any ME aircraft?
Yes my guess is it's cheapest to get rated on a dual piston and then give my check. Is that so? You would not be rated on a ME airplane until you pas the checkride. Not sure on current prices but it used to be cheaper to do the training and checkride in a light twin. Can i book a a320 simulator and give my flight check on that? Or would i have to get the rating endorsed first No. To take the checkride in a sim representing an aircraft requiring a type rating you have to show you have completed an approved course of training. |
So here's a question for ya:
I hold both an ICAO and an FAA ATPL; on my ICAO I am typed on the A320, woth 5500 cmd; to add my Type to my FAA ATP, how would I need to proceed? Thnx

flying in a Pitts
Hello Everyone,
I am new to this site and honestly don't even know where will my post end up, I am looking to do some training in a Pitts in the U.S. as I will be traveling to Oshkosh this July, and will be staying in Wisconsin "Green bay" for a few weeks, I am having trouble finding schools/instructors with a Pitts in that area, if you know of any please let me know, ;-) the only nearest I found was GrayOut in Indianapolis but can't get hold of them. Any infos and links are very much appreciated George. |
ICAO license convert to FAA license
Dear freinds
I have ICAO CPL / Instrument License with MD 80 type rating and 500 hours p2 flight time so I want to know that how can convert / Issue FAA CPL license out side US? if possible infoem me about it in detail:) |
You really can't do it without coming to the US. In order to be issued a FAA commercial you must hold a FAA private (there is a way for military pilots to skip the private certificate.) As the holder of an ICAO license the FAA will issue you a private without a written or checkride. Your CAA has to verify your license to the FAA. There are two people in Europe who can issue you a private after this happens. To get the commercial and the IR you will have to pass the written tests for each one and they are only administered in the US. With the writtens passed you could train with FAA certificated flight instructors and the same two persons in Europe can do the checkride. To have the DC-9 type rating added (the FAA only issues one type rating for DC-9 from -10 to -90/B-717) you have to complete an approved part 142 training program and again there are none outside the US.

Please could anyone kindly refer me that part of the FAR that allows you to credit a part of flight training done in an ICAO country by an instructor approved by same country CAA towards aquiring an FAA ATP/type rating under part 142. Thanx

Type rides in sims in FAA land fall under part 142 of the regs. Part 142 schools have to follow an approved syllabus. You need to be able to present your ground and flight (sim) training records. It gets a bit cloudy if you have training overseas. The FAA says you can count foreign (to us) training for a FAA rating if it is given by an instructor rated in the country the training is given in. Face it, the 142 schools exist to make money and they are going to say "If you want to use our sim you have to go through our program."
That being said, you should not need a full program. Since you have time on the aircraft you should fall into something like an upgrade program. Maybe 32 classroom hours v. 80 for initial and 3 or 4 sims v. 6 or 7. Airbus has a training center in Miami on 36th Street. And Higher Power in Fort Worth, Texas had a 320 training program a couple years ago, I think they still have it. I'd contact both of them, tell them your status and see what they can do for you. |
61.41 covers training under part 61. If you're trying to do a type rating the problem is going to be the 142 school. Each FAR 142 has a list of instructors that can teach their programs. They don't have to hold a CFI, just be on that school's list of instructors. So if you show up with items signed off by a non-FAA instructor the training center will say those people are not on our list of approved instructors and did not teach our program. You can't just say I'll do day one of your program but day two is covered by this guy's signoff. Subpart C covers the requirements for 142 instructors.

FAA ATP 2014 change Effects
Good Day,
Please I would like to ask about: I would like to do ICAO CPL (I.R/M.E) conversion to FAA CPL (I.R/M.E). I do hold an A-320 Type Rating with 400 hrs on A-320 as F/O (SIC) which I need to convert also from ICAO to FAA. My Questions are Do I need 1500 hrs before converting or doing an FAA A320 Type Rating. Also I wish to do FAA ATPL Theoretical Exam so must I have 1500 hrs before writing FAA ATPL Theoretical Exam. Thank You |
You can add a type rating to a FAA private certificate, there is no minimum total time requirement. And you can take the ATP knowledge test for a ME ATP at any time after you complete a Certificate Training Program. The ME ATP written is good for 5 years. Years back you had to have 1500 hours to take the written exam but no longer.
|
There is no such thing as an "ICAO license", so I assume you are asking about converting from a non-FAA license to a FAA certificate on the basis that both countries' licenses are ICAO compliant.
If you will not meet the requirements to hold a FAA ATP Certificate by the time you are ready for your practical test, then you will need to take the Commercial Pilot certificate written test. Unlike some other jurisdictions, the ATP written does not "cover" the commercial pilot certificate. The only certificate that requires 1500 hours is the ATP. As markerinbound said, you can add a type rating to anything private pilot and above. |
Hi everyone, please help solve my query,
I am a CASA CPL/MEIR holder with total of 1800 hours of which 1200 are commercial jet hours. Due to job requirement, i need to convert from CASA to FAA. So far, i have already send in application for license verification. Can i get advice on what to expect after? I am intending to do a ATP/CTP course together with my initial type rating. Questions. 1) After receiving the verified documents from FAA, i know i need to go to FSDO office to receive my certificate. What is the next step? Do i have to do the FAA commercial & Instrument written exams & take some flight tests? Or can they all be integrated into my initial type rating? 2) Does having FAA ATP gives me unrestricted privileges to operate on N aircraft even without FAA CPL/ME? 3) Is there any FAA website to get more information from? Thank you very much guys in advance for the help. |
Holding a foreign commercial and IR with the time allows you to skip the FAA commercial and IR. You will end up with a FAA ATP MEL with a type rating in whatever type you train in. Not totally unrestricted as you can not fly a single engine aircraft but good for any twin under 12,500 pounds and whatever aircraft the type rating covers..

Thanks
Groovy! Confirmed that... So much easier a process!

For PIC type rating, you just have to go through reduced type rating program at a Part 142 organisation such as Pan Am.
For SIC type rating, any FSDO can put it on your FAA certificate but SIC type rating is no good in the states. I need to add a type rating from my JAA ATPL to my FAA CPL. About 1000 hours on type but the rating isn't current on the JAA ATPL. I only need SIC privileges on the FAA type rating... can this be done as a simple paperwork exercise by an FSDO or am I jumping to conclusions? |
There needs to a record of training from an authorized instructor within the last 12 months. "Authorized Instructor" in FAA speak is a FAA CFI or an instructor working as part of a FAA approved training program. So not quite as easy as just filling out the application.

I'm guessing it's not a Canadian license. You will need to:
1. Pass a TSA background check 2. Complete the ATP Certificate Training Program 3. Pass the ATM written test 4. Pass an ATP checkride If the 777 training was conducted under a Part 142 program you have 60 days from the completion of the training to pass the checkride. If you can't do all the above in 60 days and you want the 777 type on your certificate you will have to complete a 777 training program conducted under 142 and pass a checkride. If you just want a generic ATP MEL you just need to pass a checkride in a light twin. But you would then need at least a FAA third class medical. |
Hi all, some help for me please: I am EASA ATP, 2000 TT 1500 JET.
MEP/IR expired, as well as SEP and type rating. May I convert anyway in a FAA CPL/IR single or I have to renew my EASA licences before? |
Hello Fellow Airman,
I have a question. I have a FAA PPL and would like to upgrade it to a FAA ATPL with a A320 Rating on it. In addition, I have a UKATPL, HKG ATPL, JCAB ATPL. I have 8000 Hours total time. 4500 hours PICs. 3200 hours PICs on A320/321. Can Anyone follow me thru the current and most updated procedure to have it done? |
