My pennies worth....
To fly a South African Reg. A/C one needs a SACAA License or validation, but no work permit as long as you dont fly in SA. To Fly a N-Reg or JAA Aircraft I suppose you have to have the same. Can I validate my SACAA License for FAA or JAA in order to fly those outside the confines of the US or Europe? Or do I have to rewrite and re-test for those licenses. And If I did would I have to have to get a green card/workpermit to fly for a living there.
The question is there resiprocity.
Why recognise their FAA and JAA issued licenses if they dont recognise SACAA Licenses?
Just asking?
