Convalidacion a la FAA

[se4ba]

Hola muchachos como están?, antes que nada me presento.
Me llamo Juan y soy comercial de Primera clase de avión en argentina, escuche que no es tan complicada la convalidacion de la licencias en USA, creo que la de piloto privado es solo una entrevista y para la comercial si algo tenes que volar, mi pregunta es la siguiente, sirve de algo tener la comercial americana? puedo sumar algún punto extra para entrar a una linea aérea?, si uno de ustedes conoce a algún amigo que convalido seria tan amable de pasarme el contacto, desde ya muchas gracias y buenos vuelos.

Si tu idea es volar en alguna aerolínea argentina, tener la ATP o Comercial de la FAA no cambia nada. En la aviación general tal vez sí porque a veces traen aviones N y los siguen volando con esa matrícula, o tienen que hacer algún ferry de un avión ejecutivo, claro que si hay que hacer por ej un ferry de un LJ35 matrícula N, necesitás la licencia y la habilitación del avión también de la FAA.
Metete en el sitio de la FAA que explican todo, antes la de privado te la daban como decís vos con un certificado de horas emitido acá y una entrevista con un inspector de la FAA que chequea que hables bien inglés. Creo que el trámite cambió hace unos años.

Te voy a dar mi opinion desde la experiencia, acabo de volver de usa después de 8 meses de entrenamiento. Me fui Con la de privado y 80 horas....Lo primero fue convalidar la de ppa, muy fácil, la escuela te pide una entrevista con el inspector, te ve Como andas de ingles y casi siempre te la da, tenes q hablar muy mal ingles para q no te la de.   Después empece con mi habilitación de instrumentos, la FAA la da por separado. Se llama instrument rating...   ( Te lo estoy resumiendo bastante rapido, si quieres algo mas detallado te lo doy)... sigamos... después saque la commercial single en un piper arrow y la habilitación a multi en un be-76......
 
Si vos tenes la commercial en argentina, ahora no se convalida mas, tenes que completar los requisitos q son varios, para poder rendir.....Aprox te lleva 1 mes o un poco mas, desde q empezas  hasta  q rendis..... igual tener la commercial sin la instrument es al pdo porq si esta nublado o queres volar mas de 50 nm con pax o rentado no podes volar...... Otra cosa no comparto la opinion del colega de arriba, tener la licencia faa, hace la diferencia en el cv, en el manejo de ingles, en tu criterio como piloto, en la formación como piloto....Sinceramente no podes comparar a un comercial de argentina Con uno de usa, le pasa el trapo. la única ventaja es q acá aprendes en la selva sin una samaritana del amor radioayuda, alla son un poco mas dependientes de alguna manera con la infraestructura del servicio. Un ejemplo rápido, Tenes una emergencia, te vas al piso en cualquier lugar del país y en 2 minutos literal tenes 2 helicopteros arriba tuyo.  No te lo digo de vende patria pero obviamente hacen las cosas bien y principalmente ven a la aviación como un servicio de transporte no como un lujo.
Si tenes la oportunidad de ir, créeme q no te vas a arrepentir.
Saludos

Como experiencia, obvio que está buenísimo, que el nivel de instrucción y de infraestructura es seguramente mucho mejor que acá y que suma a la experiencia de uno.
Yo a lo que voy, es que creo, por lo que conozco, que a nadie le importa en nuestro país si el curso de privado o comercial lo hiciste en Chivilcoy o en Flight Safety.
Para practicar inglés está bueno, pero por experiencia propia, nunca volé en USA salvo un ferry que hice de un MD, pero volé 3 meses en Europa.  Hice toda mi carrera acá, me preocupé por practicar mucho inglés acá fui a rendir libre el nivel OACI y conseguí el 6.
Yo siempre digo, al igual que manejar un auto, si manejás/volás acá sano y salvo, lo podés hacer en cualquier lugar del mundo.

Revivo este tema, porque si bien entiendo más o menos como es el proceso en principio para el instrument type rating y la revalida de la PPA, no termino de entender por donde empezar.

Para la PPA, cual seria el proceso? Vas con una nota de la escuela en Argentina, con una reunión arreglada en USA y a partir de ahí haces la revalida?

Estimo que una vez que estás allá, cualquier duda que tengas sobre como hacer el type rating para instrumental, la podés hablar ahí mismo.

No sé si me explico, pero mi duda principal es el proceso que te lleva hasta allá. Entiendo, que una vez que estás en USA el panorama se aclara y vas haciendo lo que efectivamente pretendés hacer.

En mi caso, PPA, instrument rating, PCA single y multi.

Gracias!!!
