Before you start any form of study or flight training program to convert an overseas pilot licence to an Australian pilot licence, it is essential you read the CASA Guide To Converting Foreign Licences for pilots with foreign licences who wish to fly in Australia. There is a lot of information on that page, so you must make sure you read all of the details very carefully.
If you hold a New Zealand licence there are different requirements. Please Click Here for information on using the TTMRA to convert a New Zealand Licence.
CHOS CONVERSION STUDY PACKAGE
Used for Converting an Overseas CPL(H) Licence to an Australian CPL(H) Licence.
The CASA Website states – “As a general rule, pilots seeking to convert a foreign licence to an Australian flight crew licence must pass a Flight Rules and Air Law written examination/s and a flight test as well as obtain an Australian medical certificate. The conversion of a rating, such as for instrument or night flying, usually involves an additional exam and/or flight test. The examinations/tests mentioned must be completed with a person/persons approved by CASA. This means that tests can only be conducted in Australia.”
You must contact CASA Flight Crew Licencing directly for confirmation of the requirments. DO NOT plan your study and flight tests until you have first confirmed exactly what is expected of you by CASA, after they have considered your personal circumstances.
The CHOS Study Package includes the following material to prepare you for the CLWH theory examinations required when converting an overseas CPL(H) to the Australian CPL(H) -
Study Material Included:
- AFT CPL(H) Flight Rules and Air Law Notes, Revision Tests and Answer Sheets with document references
- Bob Tait Flight Rules and Air Law, Revision Notes and Sample Questions
- Flight and Duty Information and Flow Chart
- Lankatan Aviation Air Law Index
- AFT CLWH Practice CyberExams with 8 Standard Marking Credits
PRACTICE CYBEREXAMS
All of Advanced Flight Theory’s professional theory courses contain our Practice CyberExams for each subject, including a personalised username and password with eight Marking Credits per subject.
While our Practice CyberExams do not contain actual CASA exam questions, they are designed to ensure you become familiar with the style and workload involved in the actual CASA CyberExams and help you become familiar with the layout and format of the exams. The sole purpose of our Practice CyberExam system is to help you determine if you are fully prepared to attempt the actual CASA CyberExams for each subject.
Our Practice CyberExams have proven to be very popular with our students. Since our system was first created, we have had over 4200 different aeroplane and helicopter pilots attempt our exams and approximately 20,000 Practice CyberExams are sat via our system every year.
Practice CyberExams must be viewed using Windows Internet Explorer IE5 or higher. Due to the crazy world of internet compatability, they cannot be viewed correctly using Netscape, Mozilla, Opera or other Web Browser as these browsers do not support the scripts necessary to run the exam system and re-create the appearance of the CASA CyberExams.
