Navy>FAA conversion post retirement
 
A friend who retired from the Navy many years ago Is considering a return to flying and maybe working at the Regional’s. Never converted any certificates prior to separation. Is this still possible?

Yes. 61.71 covers it.

Depends on the AC flown, but generally yes if a civilian equivalent exists:

In for a dime, in for a dollar. If he’s ELIGIBLE for type ratings, he ought to go for them.

If you happen to fly the c-12. Go get a type in the be-200. Kind of fun to see regular civilian people’s reaction to a type in the plane that doesn’t normally require it. Since the navy one is a cargo configured one, it qualifies because of the weights
