The details of said exemption differ from country to country. In the U.K., if you qualify for the exemption, it will only qualify you to fly U.K. registered aircraft. To have the restriction removed from your license, you would need to complete the remaining 13 written tests. The current JAR's allow a specific countries' regulator some discretion in validating your current license for one year in which time you need to complete the written exams.

As TP said, specific regulatons to harmonize the licensing requirements are due shortly. According to the licensing types at the U.K. CAA, they have no idea what is coming and it may make license conversion easier or harder than at present.

To add to the Chinese list, there is Air Macau as well.
I think those figures (if theyre right) are actually in kgs, not lbs, which makes a world of difference. Otherwise a Dash-8 would qualify, and I'm pretty sure it doesnt, unless I have completely missed it everytime I read about it. Which would be awesome news.:)

Gillegan, or TP or anybody,

Do you know any of the changes that the EASA may bring compared to the JAA? Any idea as to when the switch is actually going to be made? I sure hope they make conversions easier.

I'm guessing it was just a typo and you meant over 30,000 kg, not lbs. I think that is why the CRJ-200 doesn't count towards the reduced conversion requirements but the CRJ-900 does.

It's detailed in the UK CAA site under "LASORS".

I haven't looked at it in a while but it used to be 3000 hrs PIC in an AC 70,000lbs or more. This would give you an ATPL with an endorsement on the back stating that you have only passed the Airlaw and HP exam.

In any event, the Airlines are certainly not going to be impressed because you haven't passed the remaining 12 exams.

According to the site, the current pass rates have been between 70 and 80% over the past year for the 14 exams.
