Licence Conversions
ICAO Annex 1 Licence Conversion
ICAO Annex 1 licence holders are able to convert their existing licence to an EASA part-FCL licence. Certain conditions apply to such conversions and existing qualifications and experience may be taken into account. A more detailed explanation can be found at EASA Easy Access Rules for Aircrew Licencing.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The EASA member state which holds the applicant’s medical records will be the EASA state of licence issue (SOLI), i.e. the country that will issue the licence.
