Getting the CAAS equivilent of an FAA rating
Has anyone taken their US FAA rating for A&P and converted it to CAAS equivilent? Just wondering anyone out there is also an Aircraft mechanic.
Cheers!

Yes, I am certified for US aircraft. However, I would be interested in getting other countries certifications. As a for instance. If a British flagged aircraft required work, I could technically do the work. But would not be allowed to sign it off, as I am not certified in that country. That is why I am looking for info on getting certified here in Sing. It would make me a little more marketable both in the States as well as here.

Ice Pirate, what do you mean 'certified for US aircraft'? You mean a US carrier? When asked which a/c you have rating on it means rating on which type of aircraft, e.g., wide bodied, single-aisle, DC's, cessna, heli, etc. If you have rating on say A340 or B747 then you can administer maintenance on these types of aircraft. Are you currently worjking right now? Are you local? If you have a FAA License, it would be good enough, since it's a professional standard of license. If you have ratings on certain types of a/c, you don't have to have the country's (origin of a/c) to have the license. Ratings would certify you.

When I say "Certificated" it means that I am an FAA certified mechanic. Kind of like a licence. Only better. Not being snobbish. Just that it takes a US Federal Judge to take away my certificate. Anyway, I understand what you are saying. However, in order for me to work and sign off gripes on an aircraft that is "flagged" by Singapore. I thought I had to have a Singapore equivilent certificate. I know that it is the case in the US. In order for a person that is not from the US to fix US "flagged" aircraft, they have to hold an FAA certificate to do so. The key here is, to "Sign-off". Otherwise, as long as someone that holds a certificate signs the discrepency off, anyone else can do the actual work.
BTW... Yes, I do live and work here in Sing now. Just looking for ways to better myself. Besides going out and drinking myself silly.

Yes, certain licenses are required depending what the law requires on different countries. Still, the bottom line is, everything would be easy if you have a rating on the different type(s) of a/c. My husband works as an a/c mech in ec, we're foreign but he wasn't required to have a license from the CAAS Board. But he has a rating on wide-bodied aircrafts.
