Olympic: How would a single seat fighter guy with FAA ATP (not having 500 hours multi-crew) convert to JAA ATP? Would I have to self study for all ground exams and then fly a checkride? I've read about first having to take the ground exams and then having a "frozen" ATPL until 500 hours multi-crew. Is this accurate? Thanks!
I think in order to fly in Europe you need to have pass an MCC course. Now as far as military time. It will defenitelly count towards total time but the bottom line is that you defenitelly need to do all the theory, convert your IFR and CPL and that if I am not mistaken will take something like 7-9 months. aweb site with good info about all these is
www.JAA.nl. You can do the theory online(self study) pass the exams and I think you make arrangments for your check ride. If i am not mistaken the IFR you have to do the check ride in a country that supports JAA.
