61.41 (Hours credit) Commercial AMEL path

Asked by: 2019 views ,
Commercial Pilot

Currently working towards FAA PPL/IR ASEL, since having previous flying hours from ICAO Contracting states (61.41).

Currently having close to 380 hrs, with ASEL including AMEL about 14.6hrs,

Would like to know if i can choose to go with FAA Commercial AMEL instead of ASEL path, with 20-25 hrs of dual in the US? 

Appreciate the feedback

    Yes.

    The only dual in the US you actually need is the 3 hours prep for the practical test. All the rest of it could come from anywhere.
