license conversion question
Hi all. I know that license conversion questions have been covered multiple times here, but I can't find the answer to this one.
Is the instrument rating baked into the FAA ATP? Specifically, when I go to write my ACH knowledge test (ATPL-H to FAA ATP), does the instrument rating ride along, or do I need to write an additional knowledge test (ICH) on top of it?
Thanks.

Re: license conversion question
Not sure about the helicopter side but assuming it’s the same it’s baked in as long as you have a current and valid instrument rating on your Canadian license. When I wrote my ACM exam and converted they included my type ratings and instrument rating on my FAA license.thm35 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 1:47 am Hi all.

Re: license conversion question
Having done the conversion for both FAA ATP Rotorcraft and Commercial Multi-Engine Instrument Airplane, yes - your IR will ride along when you write both ACH and ACM. Only in the case of converting a commercial license will you have to write the AKT for both the commercial and instrument rating.thm35 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 1:47 am Hi all.

Re: license conversion question
Yes. IR is a requirement to hold a FAA ATP. So it comes with the conversion. No further tests. Just the conversion ATP test.thm35 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 1:47 am Hi all. I know that license conversion questions have been covered multiple times here, but I can't find the answer to this one.
