Hi FlyingForFun,
Thanks for correcting my post, I meant to write a bi-annual flight review is required to validate the FAA PPL.
As you say the bi-annual flight review consists of some ground school and a flight. Its what a checkout would include anyway, especially one in a foreign country, going through the airspace and procedures on the ground.
Just ensure you get the BFR signed off (instructor endorsement) in the back of the logbook...
I was in between study sessions on module 1 of the ATPLs (distance learning)... thus the rushed and half-correct post!
Best wishes,
Charlie Zulu.
PS. Oh and how silly of me to forget the CAA processing fee of £15!!!!
