I am having trouble doing the conversion. I have had my CASA CPL validated by FAA & CASA (an amazingly simple process including a very proactive CASA) and got the FAA letter back saying all is ok.
However using the online system to apply for a PPL (Foreign Based) under 61.75, I enter all the information and it tells me that I don't hold the appropriate ratings to apply - specifically "Applicant does not hold appropriate ratings to apply for foreign restricted.".
I have told the system that I have Australian Single Engine Land, Multi Engine Land and Instrument and that I would like to receive FAA Airplane Land and Multi Airplane Land (Will add instrument later when I can do the knowledge test).
Have asked the FAA for help but can anyone else pick what I have done wrong? I've tried applying for only a single engine to see if that helps but no luck.
Cheers
