We work continuously to ensure that the content is as up to date as possible. Have questions about this software? Contact us via the helpdesk.

Convert your Transport Canada Pilot Certificate to FAA/USA the easy way!

Licensed Canadian Pilot? Our GroundSchool FAA written test prep software will help you convert your Transport Canada Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, CPL (Commercial Pilot) or ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot) license into an equivalent FAA certificate quickly and easily.

To do the conversion, you must meet a few requirements (relatively straightforward for most Canadians) and also take and pass an FAA written test.

Our software is 100% what you need to take and pass the FAA written test that you need.

This software costs about the same as what a book does, but is significantly more time efficient. Our software works on YOUR pace at significantly lesser cost. No-nonsense. Just sit down and score highly. We've had people report scores of 100% after just a few evenings of using our software. No, you do not need to give up your Canadian license to do the conversion, but having a US license will give you better career and operational flexibility in a myriad of ways.

  • Unlike books and other materials, our software updates itself using the built-in self-update feature. You always have the latest and greatest available study material from us at no extra charge.
  • Yes, you study here using up-to-date, ACTUAL FAA QUESTIONS. Answers and Explanations written by highly experienced flight instructors and professional pilots. All required charts and figures are included.
  • No delay! Visit the pages below and start studying right away.

There are four FAA Canada to FAA conversion tests:


PCP
Canadian Private Pilot to USA FAA Conversion
CCP
Canadian Commercial Pilot to USA FAA Conversion
ICP
Canadian Instrument Rating to USA FAA Conversion
ACP
Canadian Airline Transport Pilot to USA FAA Conversion



Each one of these tests exists in a test bank of our FAA GroundSchool software. For example, the CCP test is in GroundSchool FAA - Commercial Pilot. Note: As of this writing (June, 2007) these are only available for single or multi-engine AIRPLANE only.

To get started: visit one of the FAA written test prep pages above, download, and install the software. When you have it going, select the conversion test of your choice.
