Canadian Cpl To Faa.

[CSX4840]

I currently hold a Canadian CPL. Anyone here have an idea what would be the quickest, best / cheapest route for obtaining my FAA cpl? Is there a training facility that can help with this from start to finish? Thanks in advance.

Unless the FAA has changed the rules, which may be the case. The first thing you have to do is get a security clearance from Oklahoma, if you pass that you will have to take your logbooks/CPL to your nearest FAA office. You will be issued a private helicopter license based on the strength of your CPL (H)

 

To get your FAA Commercial you have to do their written, pass an FAA flight test and meet their requirements. You need 2 hours of night x-country time (dual or solo) and 5 hours of PIC night. I can't remember the IFR requirements but I beleive it is 5 hours????

 

The rules were going to be changed and it was going to be like getting an FAA Commercial Airplane License, all you have to do is meet their requirements I believe.

 

If you are in the lower mainland Chinook Heli and Pro-IFR do conversions, they will have all the facts.

 

I went across the border and the rates were half of what you paid in Canada. (RH-22, you might not find a BH-47)
