Countries such as Caymans, Isle of Man, Aruba etc. work on a validation principle. You don’t get a Caymans FCL the same way you would get a CASA one (flight tests, exams etc.) but you get it on the basis of having an ICAO FCL. So if your CASA PPL gets cancelled, so does your validation one.
That is not how I see § 61.3 Requirement for certificates, ratings, and authorizations.(a)Required pilot certificate for operating a civil aircraft of the United States. No
person may serve as a required pilot flight
crewmemberof a
civil aircraft of the
United States, unless that person:
(1) Has in the
person's physical possession or readily accessible in the
aircraft when exercising the privileges of that pilot certificate or authorization -
(i) A pilot certificate issued under this part and in accordance with
§ 61.19;
(ii) A special purpose pilot authorization issued under
§ 61.77;
(iii) A temporary certificate issued under
§ 61.17;
(iv) A document conveying temporary authority to exercise certificate privileges issued by the Airmen Certification Branch under
§ 61.29(e);
(v) When engaged in a flight operation within the
United States for a part 119 certificate holder authorized to conduct operations under part 121 or 135 of this chapter, a temporary document provided by that certificate holder under an approved certificate verification plan;
(vi) When engaged in a flight operation within the
United States for a fractional ownership program manager authorized to conduct operations under part 91, subpart K, of this chapter, a temporary document provided by that program manager under an approved certificate verification plan; or
(vii) When operating an
aircraft within a foreign country, a pilot license issued by that country may be used.
Part .1 says a US cert
Part vii says a local cert MAY be used
ie either a US or an Australian certificate.
