Description

This AC describes the procedures for the conversion of a Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) Part-Flight Crew License (CH Part-FCL) pilot license to a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pilot certificate. It also contains information on whom to contact and where to find the process for the conversion of an FAA pilot certificate to a CH Part-FCL pilot license. This AC also describes how the conversion process is different from the process for obtaining an FAA pilot certificate issued on the basis of a foreign pilot license under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 61, § 61.75 and for which the FAA pilot certificate is limited by the foreign pilot license.
