FAAQ validations.
OK Guys,
Before this gets any worse would you like it from the dark side??
YES, you need a Biennial Flight Review. Non of your UK stuff counts.
The US operators insurance will require a valid Biennial. Your checkout will count as a Biennial.
Yes, you need a medical. Your UK license is not valid without the medical and without a valid UK license your FAA vaidation is not valid.
However should your UK medical run out while you are here it has been known and accepted that you get a US medical. Lets start more argument on that one??
Please study for the Biennial as it is about US regulations and airspace not where you come from.
The rubbish about having to fly at night for a Biennial is all BS. In fact your validation "should" have a limitation placed on it to say that night flying is prohibited but few FAA inspectors know that the UK doesn't require night flying for a Private license.
This issue has been hashed so many times that you UK guys should all have it hanging on every hangar wall by now.
Any questions??
