FAA 61.75 'Piggy back' Certificate Validity
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. I've found much discussion about the process of getting this certification based on an EASA PPL(H) and understand that, but remain unclear on one point. I have been told that the FAA 61.75 'restricted' certificate (like the full FAA license) is not based on specific aircraft type ratings. Because of this, in effect, the 61.75 certificate allows the holder to fly any helicopter (up to a certain MTOW) in the UK, without having to go through the EASA process of type conversion involving 5 hours conversion training, exam, etc. On the other hand, I have also been told that: "...the 61.75 certificate covers only the type’s on your UK license." Which is true?
If the FAA certificate does not restrict you to a type, you would, presumably, need to persuade your UK insurer that you were adequately trained to fly any aircraft on which you are not rated on your EASA license - and I'm not sure how you'd do that...
