Currency for FAA License issued on back of a JAA
Quote: "You can easily get an FAA PPL issued on the basis of your UK PPL just by filling in some paperwork. Details of how to do this are covered extensively elsewhere on this forum. Once you have your FAA PPL, you can fly wherever you want to in your 'N' registered aeroplane"
It seems that the safest/easiest answer to N Reg operation in Europe is on the basis of an FAA licence.
I understand that an FAA licence issued on the back of a CAA/JAA licence is valid and current on the basis of the CAA license being current and valid- i.e. there is no requirement for a BFR or a FAA medical.
However, I hold both CAA/JAA & FAA licences- independantly (i.e. not issued on the back of one another)- so my FAA license is only current fowllowing a BFR and medical with an FAA authorised doctor.
I am tempted to ask for an FAA license to be issued on the back of my JAA/CAA one- does anyone know if this can be done while holidng a (proper) FAA license?
