I have a few questions regarding the issue of an FAA piggyback PPL licence based on my EASA licence. I hold a frozen ATPL which is a CPL with ATP written equivalent passed. I currently hold on my EASA licence only a B737 300-900 type rating with an IR CATII/III and in the remarks/restriction section MP is noted, since the 737 is a multi-pilot aircraft. I am going to renew my Single Engine Piston rating very soon.
I understand that in this case, I will get an FAA PPL licence with Single Engine Land privileges, but I intend to obtain also an IR and a Multi-Engine Land privilege.
- Will my B737 type rating be credited towards the issue of a Multi-Engine Land privilege? I know type ratings aren't transferred and I am not interested in that.
- Will my IR on the 737 count towards the issue of the IR, following the IR written test for foreign pilots?
I am planning on doing some time building in the US and at least 30 hours on a Seneca.
