Maintaining currency in other coutries
Hi folks,
If I have FAA licenses, but currently do not reside in the US, what are my options to stay current with them?
To be more specific:
1) The main question - Can I keep myself current in a Non-US registered aircraft?
2) Do I have to own a local license for that, or being with a local instructor or a local pilot on board is sufficient?
3) For PIC requirements, assuming I won't be able to solo, does the instructor (since no local license) need to have an FAA license as well?
4) For IR requirements, does the safety pilot need to have an FAA license, or is it possible to do it in a local approved Sim?
5) Once I do hold a local license, does activity I do on a foreign registered aircraft count towards currency of FAA license?
I hope you get my notions,
Thanks!
