OACI/FAA to EASA Licence Conversion

Get your European licence

Become an airplane pilot!

The conversion of an OACI/FAA licence to an EASA licence allows pilots holding a non-European licence to fly legally within all EASA member states and access the full European training pathway (Night Rating, IR, CPL, MEP, etc.).

Paris Flight Academy provides personalised support tailored to your experience, your current licence, and the regulatory requirements of the issuing authority.
