That's odd, this posted before GP's questions.


1. Under FAA regs you need a COMM certificate to fly for pay or compensation, so yes, it will make a difference. However, the FAA will allow you to a N registered aircraft in a foreign country with a license from that country. I don't know how that works in JAA land, if one license would be good in all the JAA countries. And the local CAA may have different rules.

2. The FAA will grant you a PVT certificate based on a foreign PVT, COMM, or ATP. Won't do you any good if you are going to fly for hire. Google "FSIMS" then click on "airman certification" and towards the bottom of the page should be a link for issuing a certificate based on a foreign license. Keep in mind you also have to be approved by by our TSA.

3. No test, no exam unless you want instrument privileges.

4. Check the FSIMS link, your CAA will have to provide paperwork to the FAA that your license is valid.

5. I don't believe so because you're not doing any training. You will have to complete a "flight review" with an instructor to meet regulations but that isn't training.

6. No FAA medical required because it will based on your JAA medical.

7. No school required because it is a paperwork exercise.

8. What ever it takes to keep your JAA license current. A FAA "based on" certificate is only good while the base license is also valid. You will have to complete a flight review every two years to exercise privileges under your FAA certificate.


6. No FAA medical because it is based on your JAA medical.
