FAA instructor in Europe
Hello everybody,
I hold a FAA-IFR rating which is not any more valid since I haven't flown enough in the last six months. Anyway, I have to convert it into EASA-IR.
Before sitting any exam, my FAA IR must be valid. Therefore I was wondering whether a FAA instructor getting bored in Europe would be available in the following months to do the check ride with me.
As a matter of fact, I would need even some ground and eventually air time to get back on the IFR mentality, which is easy to loose if not trained. Everything to be organized.
Many thanks and have a great day

Europe is a big place... and there are a few FAA CFIIs I know at either end, some in the middle and at the top and bottom. If you can be a bit more specific I may be able to put you in touch...

So you need an IPC? Are you outside the first 6 months, and into the second 6 months where all you need to do is fly the required number of approaches with a safety pilot to get current again?!

Hello and thanks for your answers.
To Dutchess Driver: I haven't cited a particular place since I count to reach the instructor where it might be most suitable for him/her to fly with me. If I could state a preference, I would avoid far north of Europe
thanks !
To sapperkenno: unfortunately I'm out of that possibility too. You are perfectly right saying that I might use a safety pilot, the reason why I said I haven't flown enough in last sixth month is because I remembered those numbers as a go/can't go barrier. But in fact what I need is an Instrument Prof Check. Thank you for letting me precise that
Cheers

Try flylisa.de* for CFIIs that are also EASA competency-based IR guys. You can "do it all" there, perhaps during the same flight(s) if you are lucky. Train. Test. Pay fees.
One of the instructors is in my glider club - CFII, EASA IR examiner, etc.
*This URL will auto forward to another, longer URL, but you will see a page about flying in either of two Grumman Cheetahs. Hope this helps.

My EASA SEP has expired due to my own fault; I'll likely renew there.
