"
FAA to EASA "conversion" rules, section 3, article 9. It's the 100 hours minimum time that's the biggest showstopper, pure protectionism."
The US–EU BASA has created an alternative conversion route—limited to the EU subset of licences—which doesn't require 100 hours as a pilot. The implementation procedures set out the conversion steps (
TIP-L).
Hillsboro Aero Academy in Oregon is also trying its hand at so-called European training as a satellite base of RotorSky, Austria, IIRC.
American Aviation Academy (formerly Anglo American Aviation) in San Diego still holds an EASA approval. The last I heard, its assets were acquired by Sling Pilot Academy.
I think BEagle makes a sensible point. If you will only do recreational flying, you'd be better off receiving the training locally. Nobody teaching FAA courses in Florida can prepare you for mountain waves in Norway.
