CASR 202.279 or thereabouts discusses it. You can do it provided the sim, training centre and the examiner are all approved by a recognised foreign state. See the start of Part 61 for that list. Be careful wrt the examiner, even if they hold an EASA approval they must be licensed by a rfs, not all EASA countries are rfs. Must complete the oral component with a CASA approved examiner or CASA FOI who has to get the flight test number as well
Samurai,
In short, a typical CASA bureaucratic nightmare, and one little slip-up in the countless pages of paperwork, and it is all for nothing.
Whether it is Flight Safety Inc., or CAE, or whoever, they shake their heads in wonder at how we put up with it, every time CASA gets involved.
Tootle pip!!
