EASA Pilot Licence Conversion: TIP-L Guide
EASA pilot licence conversion under the Technical Implementation Procedures—Licensing (TIP-L) has its own reference material and application route. Use the official FAA guidance below to prepare a focused inquiry for Jason E. Jacobs.
EASA pilot licence conversion: 3 essential preparation steps
1. Read the FAA conversion guidance
FAA Advisory Circular 61-143, including Change 1, describes conversion of an EU Part-FCL pilot licence to an FAA pilot certificate. The FAA distinguishes this process from a certificate issued on the basis of a foreign licence under 14 CFR 61.75.
The FAA also publishes the Technical Implementation Procedures—Licensing. Review the portions relevant to the certificate and ratings you are seeking.
2. Identify your licence and intended privileges
When you contact Jason, state the issuing authority, your current licence and ratings, and the FAA certificate or rating you want. Ask which application steps and supporting records apply to your situation before booking travel or assuming an appointment is available.
3. Prepare the applicable application
Use FAA IACRA according to the applicable instructions. Keep your licence information and application details organized so you can discuss any outstanding questions with Jason. A request through this website does not confirm eligibility or reserve a test date.
Read the EASA pilot licence conversion reference online
The pilot resource library includes a book-style reader and PDF download for the conversion reference. Consult the current FAA publication information for changes. If you are considering a foreign-licence-based certificate instead of the TIP-L route, review the restricted foreign pilot information.
For a practical-test request, use the separate Schedule Exam page after confirming which service you need. This helps distinguish an application or conversion inquiry from a checkride request.
