From ICAO To CASA
Pilots who have trained overseas and obtained their Private Pilot Licence (PPL), Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) or Air Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) from ICAO-approved countries are able to have their licence (and ratings) converted to CASA. ICAO Pilot Licence Conversion course is designed to convert any ICAO professional licence and ratings to CASA professional licence. Converting your ICAO Licence to a CASA Licence requires both theory and practical flight training, and there may be additional requirements depending on your experience and licence status.
To Train & Fly In Australia
Converting your ICAO Pilot Licence will allow you to continue your flight training and work in Australia as a Pilot. In addition to learning more about CASA regulations and operations, during this course, we will familiarise you with the aircraft type, local procedures and flying in CASA-regulated airspace.

1. Prerequisite & Orientation
To complete your licence conversion, the ICAO PPL or CPL you hold must be current and valid. There is a range of other prerequisites including total aeronautical experience, flight hours as a pilot, solo flight hours, solo cross-country flight hours and instrument hours. Please refer to the course guide.
For ATPL conversion, you need to be at least 21 years old, hold a CPL or MPL with the same aircraft rating, have completed the CASA conversion exam, and submitted the conversion application.
The orientation will include an introduction to the airport, airspace, aircraft fleet, LTF processes and policies, and our facilities. -

Our Graduate
Kenny Won“I was impressed with LTF’s professionalism and also the variety and quality of their aircraft fleet when I visited from overseas. I decided that wanted to have my FAA PPL converted so that I could continue my CPL training with LTF in Australia. I can now train at one of the busiest training airports in the Southern hemisphere, which gives me the confidence to fly anywhere.”
