I'm travelling out to the USA in september to do some general touring. I've done a search
and I think I'm up to speed with the process of obtaining an FAA PPL on the basis of my UK JAA PPL.
Question I have is timescales for licence and medical validation. The FAA suggest that validation of a medical should be done 90 days in advance...
From the FAA website...
Rating or Medical Certificate
A person who is applying for a U.S. rating or medical certificate on the basis of a foreign license must apply for that certificate at least 90 days before arriving at the designated FAA FSDO where the applicant intends to receive the U.S. certificate. This initial application step is the responsibility of the applicant.
I have 75 days until my intended trip so I'm a bit concerned. Does anyone have experience of actual timescales? or am I up the creek with no paddle
