Russian Pilot License?
I may have to go to St. Petersburg next spring (on business) and I think I'd like to bring home a Russian Pilot License as a rather unique remembrance.
I have an FAA private pilot license (ASEL) and I'm an AGI (Advanced Ground School Instructor), so if there is any reciprocity (as in FAA < > CAA) I figure I just might be able to take a test or two and get the license.
What's involved in a Russian-issue PPL? Of course, I don't want to trade in my FAA stuff because I need it here. Do they honor my present license or would I be expected to start cold at zero hours?
Written tests? Flight test? Language? Costs? Is this even possible?
Best Regards,
Echo Mike
