conversion from CPL to FAA???

Post by Slipster »

Hi all,


Got most of it understood... just looking for some study material for the FAA exam I have to write. I understand its 40 questions and mostly on air law and how not to write run on sentences and so on and so forth.

Your turn,

Thanks

Try this:

https://www.gleim.com/aviation/online/crogs/

I know a couple people that have used this with no problems on the exam.

The thing is that once you have gone through a section and it is closed. You CANNOT re-open it.

Have fun.

I am looking for suitable study material for the ATP 40 question conversion examination. Is there any alternative to the Gleim online course? Busted has pointed out that the Gleim online course cannot be reopened after a section is done and Gleim states that their courses can only be accessed for a maximum of six months.
I prefer to have a hard copy, either a printed manual or CD-ROM, that I can refer to in future. Two years ago I discarded my nearly three decades old copy of From the Ground Up and bought a current version that refers to the CARS and such “modern” things as GPS. I find it worthwhile to retain decent study material and to be able to refer to it from time to time. Not providing this ability is a shortcoming of the Gleim online courses. What are the study material options for the ATP conversion exam?

My sister just told me that as she went through it, you can print off each section and make your own manual.

Hope that helps

Besides the exam, is there anything else you need to do to convert the licence? (besides fork out some dough) No flight test?

70% and the $$$$$$$$$ mine was quoted 100 USD in spokane. No flight test. Might want double check the grade for atpl and IR.

$50.00 USD for Gleim coarse, $100.00 USD for exams, $125-250.00 CDN for med.(depending if you need ekg or combining with your Canadian), no charge at FAA office but factor in the drive time. If you contact your local CAE/Flight Safety they may have a regular visit from an FAA Inspector and with proper previous paper work complete one may do the final step with him in Canada. Call it $500.00 CDN and eight weeks.
