This is the most thorough explanation video about EASA license. I've always thought EASA license exists, it was only just an integration about EU member states aviation rules and regulations. You did a very nice, detailed and easy to understand explanation about EASA license. Thank you very much
I'm converting my license from Brazil to EASA since I moved to Portugal and have Portuguese citzenship (so I can work in the EU), but it's such a pain that we have to take the 14 exams (now its just 13), and basically study again everything I already did. What kind of conversion is this right? if you have to do everything again it should not be called a conversion. I think me and every student I meet hates EASA because of this 13 exams, which honestly, are unnecessarily hard, we learn so many difficult things we won't ever use in practice.
I have question. Suppose I will take Air Law exam for EASA license, will the content of the air law exam applies specifically to the EASA State/Country where you took the exam? Or does the air law exam applies to all EASA member state regulation?
The exam will be valid in all EASA member states because all EASA member states follow the same rules. But to get an EASA license, you must to take all written exams (14 in all for ATPL), and they must be taken under the responsibility of an Approved Training Organization (ATO), which is under the responsibility of one EASA member state. From Part-FCL: "FCL.025 Theoretical knowledge examinations for the issue of licences and ratings (a) Responsibilities of the applicant (1) Applicants shall take the entire set of theoretical knowledge examinations for a specific licence or rating under the responsibility of one Member State. (2) Applicants shall only take the theoretical knowledge examination when recommended by the approved training organisation (ATO) responsible for their training, once they have completed the appropriate elements of the training course of theoretical knowledge instruction to a satisfactory standard."
@@FlywithMagnar If for example I got my EASA FCL from Germany, and I want to work in a Spanish airline. Do I need to convert it to a Spanish license or I can just simply fly in Spain with my German license?
@@cruxader27 A license issued in Germany is issued in accordance with EASA rules and is valid in all EASA member states, including Spain. Therefore, you can fly aircraft registered in Spain without having to worry about conversion.
Thank you for this video, I'm a Canadian citizen, also have my Portugal citizen card I'm looking into flight training Would you say there is more opportunities in Europe- keep in mind I only speak english and portuguese, or would you say more opportunities in Canada- I'm pretty flexible to move anywhere Also is it possible to have two licenses, EASA and TCCA What are some differences between the two, is one better then the other
Ask yourself: Where are there most avation jobs? With a Portugese citizenship and EASA license, you can work as pilot in every EASA member state. However, I suspect an EASA license will cost more than a Canadian license. Can you have more than one license? Yes, no problem. Just be aware the conversion from one license to another takes some time.
@@FlywithMagnar if one could have more then one license Then wouldn't that mean you don't need to convert? And yes I realize one can work anywhere in Europe, that's why I had asked for you to keep in mind, I only speak portuguese and English, i had done a quick search in pilot jobs in Europe and most airlines require you to speak the language from where that airline is located, minimizing employment opportunities
@@FlywithMagnar oh I see in order for one to have 2 license you would have to do it from scratch. Thank you for clarifying- I thought since one already had the flying hours that maybe one would only need to write an exam or something. So yes, converting license would make more sense Thanks again for the reply
Hi Sir, I hope this finds you well, I was working on my debate preparation for one of the subject in my program to become a Commercial Pilot. I found your channel on my internet research for lift generation concept which was very helpful to have a better understanding. Anyhow, I would like to request for advice about my aviation career. I want to become a commercial pilot but right now I am 37 years old and just starting my career in Aviation as a pilot. So I am confused, should I keep doing what I want to do or should think or consider some career opportunity at this point of my age. It will take two years to become a pilot so at the end of the course, I will be near the 40s. so please advice me what should I consider before doing this course which is very costly. I am student at RMIT Australia. Looking forward to hearing from you, Regards Mudasir Shahzad

@@FlywithMagnar I'm gonna save this video for reference. Thank you again!

Best part of the video was the cat 🤣🤣

A conversion is cheaper than taking a new license from scratch. To convert a license, you must pass written exams and a skill test.
