Update FAA foreign based license
A colleague flying with an EASA license has a foreign-based FAA CPL, issued in the 90s on the basis of his pre-EASA national license (which he no longer has). He hasn't used it for some years but now wants to be able to use it to fly Cessnas around for fun Stateside.
Would I be correct to say that he would have to go through the foreign license verification procedure again, including fsdo/DPE appointment, resulting in an update of his foreign-based FAA certificate? (the paper to plastic card thing should then take care of itself.)
Of course followed by medical, flight review, etc.
