I got a FCC licence .. and i also found a austrian gov't site that 'validates' it (well, not sure if an FCC one qualifies, but they say foreign .. so going to try ;-)) ...
https://www.fb.gv.at/Pruefungen/pruefungen-flug.html
And i was going to go that route, but i was surprised to find this thread that said none may be needed at all.
But is a validation sufficient? Os it only valid it austria or can i fly to germany with it? Its all a bit confusing
I will write to austrocontrol as airgus suggested to see if i can get a bit wiser.
Thanks for the input guys.
