For applicants with less than 100h total time

Holders of a licence with less than 100h total time cannot have the licence converted. In this case it is possible to apply for reduced training through a training organisation. The training organisation will through an assessment determine how much training that may be reduced (both theoretical and flight training) and then apply for reduced training to the Swedish Transport Agency.

After approval from the Swedish Transport Agency the applicant must complete the required training, successfully complete the theoretical knowledge examinations (all 9 subjects). Apart from this, the requirements mentioned under "For applicants with 100h total time or more" applies.
