EASA
Licence Conversion

EASA Licence Conversion Overview

An EASA pilot licence is accepted worldwide. Pilots who wish to be recruited and fly with a European airline must be holders of the EASA license. Additionally, pilots wishing to be recruited by any other international airline are most preferred.

Licences held in accordance with ICAO Annex 1 (e.g. FAA, GACA etc.) can be converted to EASA licence. The first step to convert a non-European licence is the successful pass of the 14 subjects of the ATPL theory. The flight training phase of the conversion depends on the applicant's previous experience.

Then a skill test with a certified EASA examiner must be passed. For the endorsement of a Type Rating on the EASA licence the applicant should have at least 500 hours on type.
