FAA to EASA

Converting a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Private Pilot License (PPL) to a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) PPL requires meeting specific requirements and steps. At Dutch Flight School, in collaboration with Skyclarity for the theoretical training, we offer a streamlined process to convert your FAA PPL to an EASA PPL.

Requirements for Conversion:

Medical Certificate: You need to obtain a valid EASA Class 2 medical certificate. This is a basic requirement for all pilots wishing to convert their PPL.

Theoretical Knowledge (with Skyclarity): You must pass the EASA theoretical exams. Required subjects mainly include European aviation law, navigation, operational procedures, and human performance.Skyclarity provides a comprehensive conversion course preparing you for these exams. The course includes both self-study and classroom sessions, along with access to study materials and question banks.

Flight Training and Proficiency Check: Depending on your experience, additional flight training may be necessary to prepare for an EASA proficiency check. This check is conducted by an EASA-certified examiner at Dutch Flight School and assesses your practical flying skills and knowledge of EASA procedures.

English Language Proficiency: Evidence of your English language proficiency is required, usually at ICAO Level 4 or higher.
