How do we get a Foreign Type Rating put on our FAA Lic?
Well the title pretty much says it all.. I know there has been much said about this both here and on the Prune, however no one, to my knowledge, has answered the question..
I have heard of guys at my company going into the Sim. at odd hours in a group with an examiner get an Airbus rating put on a Euro license, but never anyone who gets it done on the FAA, or Boeing for that matter..
Now with all of the talent on here one of you must know how to do this.. It is easy if it is a recognized authority (CAA, JAR etc), but what if it is not???
cheers for the responses

You can find all of the requirements and information about issuance of US certificates/qualifications based on a foreign license here (taken from the FAA Inspectors Handbook).

EK,
Frankly I couldn't do it. I mean get a Foreign Type on my FAA license. I'm not sure if it's possible. I had to complete the whole process and get a European License which included completing the JAA ATPL exams and then get the JAA type rating. My FAA license was validated for a very short time while I completed the JAA licensing process.
As for the process going in reverse, I believe it really depends on the willingness of the CAA from the which the Euro license was issued as to whether they would accept a type rating on their license. That being said, if it is a JAA country then it's pretty clear that the type rating program must be JAA approved in order to have it on a JAA license.
Good luck,
Lifter

Thanks to both of you for your help.. I am talking to some friends in the US about this, and hopefully someday we will figure it out..
It might be possible to take a "Check ride" or type ride if you will, with an FAA DE probably in the US.
Of course it is quite cheap and easy to hopp into a B-777 Sim....
