N Reg IFR advice
Hi all. I fly a N reg aircraft on my EASA license and have an IR(R) (IMC) rating which allows me to get out of trouble cloud-wise in the UK.
I also have an FAA piggyback certificate, so that I can fly the N reg aircraft in Europe.
To allow me to get the occasional IFR clearance in Europe (and I realise there’s a lot of work involved) I’ll need a full instrument rating. Would I be best to get the FAA IR (and ? upgrade my FAA certificate to stand-alone) or get the EASA IR instead? Would the EASA IR be valid when flying in Europe using my FAA certificate, or would the rating be carried over onto my FAA certificate automatically?
Thanks for your thoughts...
All I really want to do is be able to get occasional IFR clearances in Euro-land!
