Say I come with my FAA CPL and an EASA medical. You think those combined could be a base for an ICAO validation in a 3rd country, or would I need both medical and cpl to be from the same state (FAA in this case)?
I'm asking since it would be a double hassle to keep an FAA CPL and medical current if I'm not residing in the states.
A bit off a grey area I'm sure but any input much appreciated.
You may only exercise your licence privileges if the associated medical is valid. The validating authority is the FAA, so you need an FAA medical You can do both an EASA medical & FAA medical at the same time if the AME is qualified.,
