I don’t know the Norwegian rules on accepting ICAO licenses but the way it is here, your FAA license holder will also need 100hrs TT post-checkride, but if he has an FAA ATP then he must have at least 1500hrs (including 100hrs night) so will meet that one He will also have an FAA CPL/IR of course; you cannot do the ATP checkride unless you have that (no way to go PPL → ATP in FAA-land, and there is no “frozen ATPL” which is a CPL/IR and the 14 exam passes).
Thanks Peter. Well, I guess he talked to an FAA instructor friend or something. I’ll schedule him for a skilltest and be done with it.
A FAA instructor told him he needs to the BFR before “conversion”,
Why is an FAA instructor involved in a conversion from an FAA license to an EASA license?
An FAA license is valid for life. It needs a BFR before the privileges can be exercised, but this guy is not intending to exercise them.
It is up to the Norwegian CAA to decide what they want.
I have a student that holds a valid FAA ATP, but he does not have a current BFR. He wants to get his EASA PPL. A FAA instructor told him he needs to the BFR before “conversion”, but I can’t really find any basis for this in 1178/2011, Annex III.
As I see it, he needs to do the Air Law and Human Performance exams, and then do the skilltest with an EX.
Input?
