Runwaydata.org
is a comprehensive website in support of FAA/Canadian or other ICAO Certificated Pilots who will eventually qualify for the
United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Professional License. Pilots visiting Runwaydata.org will find this information
pertinent, practical & appropriate as an "entry level" gateway to master European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
critical subject content.
A total of two subjects must be passed for the UK ATP License. This
is the "G Conversion" which is valid for United Kingdom registered aircraft ("G" registration) for already
qualified airline Captains. Two subjects are tested. The subjects are Air Law & Human Performance & Limitations
(HPL).

G Conversion - - OF ICAO ATP (FAA, Transport Canada or
the Like)
Transport Category Airline Pilots with a Minimum
of 3,000 Hours Total Time on Aircraft having a Maximum Gross Weight of at Least 30,000kg (66,138.7 pounds) and a Minimum
of 1,500 hrs as Pilot in Command on Aircraft of Similar Weight are Candidates for the United Kingdom License.
For example, An Airbus 319 First Officer with 1,500 hours of second-in-command time in type, upgraded to Captain
on the Boeing 737 and now has 1,500 hours as pilot in command. This pilot can seek the "G Conversion" because this equates
to 3,000 hours total time & 1,500 hours PIC in the requisite weight aircraft. Please note, the "G Conversion" is valid for
aircraft registered in Great Britain.
