License Conversion FAQ

Can I convert my FAA license to EASA?

+

Yes. SAA offers tailored conversion programs for FAA license holders wanting to obtain an EASA ATPL or CPL. The training and assessment requirements are determined on a case-by-case basis depending on your current license, ratings, and experience.

How long does the license conversion take?

+

The duration varies depending on your background. A straightforward FAA-to-EASA conversion for experienced pilots can take as little as a few weeks. More complex conversions from other ICAO states may take longer. We assess each case individually.

What documents do I need for the conversion process?

+

You will need your current pilot license, medical certificate (Class 1), logbook records, English language proficiency certificate, and any relevant type rating documentation. SAA will guide you through the exact requirements for your specific conversion.

Is the EASA license valid worldwide?

+

An EASA license is recognized across all 44 EASA member states and is widely respected globally. Many non-EASA countries also have bilateral agreements for license validation, making it one of the most portable pilot licenses in the world.
