Shot in the dark here, but is anyone familiar with whether it's possible to do simulator instruction in Europe (e.g. CAE) with FAA certs, assuming you independently have the right to live-and-work? Either as a short-term prospect while converting or long-term?
 
It is, I’ve been to CAE Gatwick/Burgess Hill. You need 1500 to be an ‘SFI’. They are hiring. I don’t know why you’d convert though. That’s a heck of a process.

(also flightsafety farnborough. those are your options.)
 
Thanks. I have an Irish passport, so the CTA would cover me in the UK, but would I probably prefer somewhere else in Europe if the opportunity arose.

Conversion is a pain, but if I were relocating to Europe indefinitely/permanently I think it would make sense.
 
curious if anyone has updates on FAA cert recognition for sim instruction in Europe. Have there been any recent changes to the certification conversion process? Also, are there specific locations besides CAE Gatwick or FlightSafety Farnborough that you’d recommend for long-term prospects? Interested in hearing more opinions and experiences!
 
Flight Safety Paris. CAE Vienna. It is do able but EASA requires you to have an EASA pilot certificate to add SFI to.
