Nr Fairy. .Sorry my question was unclear. What I meant was ...
If you already have a CAA PPL and would like to get a full FAA PPL (not just a Temporary Airman's Certificate dependent upon your CAA PPL being current), what do you have to do?. .What do you mean by "if you've never gone to the US, then it's straighforward.". .If you have been to the US before, and held a Temporary Airman's Certificate years ago, is the procedure different?
(Apologies for pursuing this point, but I was asked this by a PPL recently, and didn't know the answer.)
