Thank you for your replies so far.
Sssooo... The process has changed slightly since I last checked it. Is the below a good summary?
- CAA side - fill in an application (e.g. SRG1160) for licence verification by the issuing authority
- Register at IACRA, including getting the FTN[umber]
- FAA side - fill in an application (AC8060-71) for verification of a foreign licence (and issue of a Private certificate i.a.w. 61.75)
- Get the verification letter from the FAA
- And then a face-to-face meeting with all paperwork, but no longer at the FSDO, booking an appointment with a DPE is sufficient, correct?
- If DPE happy, he will issue a Temp Cert
- Then, in order to exercise PPL privileges, I need a Flight Review (so I may as well think ahead and request one from the DPE at the same meeting as two bullets above)
- And in order to exercise IR privileges, do I need IFP or IPC or both? These two are getting confused in this context, and one is a theory exam, while the other is a checkride.
There are at least two DPEs in the UK.
