ICAO exp into FAA?
 
Hey! Question

If im a us citizen, but did most of my flight time outside USA on heavy acft, can i convert some of that time into faa?

Around 4000 TT in A320/B787 but now i need to get 1k in far 121… could be handy to shorten that a little bit.

Thoughts?

Thanks!!!

All of your foriegn flight times count as total time, category, class, and type, SIC & PIC, etc.

The 1000 hours of 121 SIC required to upgrade can *only* be acquired at a US 121 (or certain 135) operations. There's no allowance for foriegn airline time (which is not 121 time).

You cannot upgrade in the US, or take a DEC position, as it stands now.
