Interesting, I knew a few people around here who trained in Swedish DTOs and got Danish PPLs.
The credit recommendation and approval requirement addressed by art 3 in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/723 is for applicants who wish to obtain the EASA equivalent of the non-EASA licence rating or certificate which they hold.
Has anyone done this recently in the UK? I’m looking to convert my FAA CPL/IR to UK papers.
Thank you!
If your ATP is pre 2020 then I believe you avoid the 14 theory exams. Otherwise you have to carry out the theory knowledge exams, an approved CPL course, you may get some IF credit, and assuming you have the required IFR time, you then wirk on getting a CBIR.

It’s not, I recently passed the CPL. I guess I’ll start by converting my IR for private flying and see if it’s even worth converting the CPL later on.
If going for an airline/jet job (why else would one want a CPL?) make sure you don’t get the “dead end” CPL/IR mentioned above.

Not for now, I’m more thinking about random flying gigs for the days I’m not at work. I don’t think I can do much in Europe with a US CPL/IR, that’s why I’m looking at a potential EASA conversion but without much appetite for a long process.
I may be missing something but
and the elephant in the room is the 13 (was 14) written EASA “ATPL” (CPL/ME/IR actually) exams which everybody doing this is trying to skip but AFAIK you can’t.

I think you meant “I can’t do”. If you (the “operator”, strictly speaking) are not EU resident then you can do
without needing EU papers.

Yes. Thank you!

So assuming I became a UK or European resident, I can do the jobs you mentioned for a US/non-EU operator flying N-reg, correct?

Yes, that’s what I mean by “long process”. As I understand, there is no way around that.

The operator needs to be non EU otherwise the pilot(s) need EU papers – in addition to the State of Registry papers.
As I understand, there is no way around that.
I would contact some of the FTOs in Bulgaria or Romania. @flippiefloppies may know some. There was a post here a year or so ago about some FTO doing the UK-EASA exam conversion over a weekend for 3k, and that means sitting all 13 exams.
