FAA piggy-back license info needed

Hi all,

if you have been following one of the similar threads here you will have seen this post coming a mile off

Oh-- i have done two searches and not found anything relevant and i have to say that the search engine is very un-user friendly.

So what im looking for is the procedure for getting an FAA piggy back license on my Uk soon to be Irish JAA issued ppl.

In an easy step by step procedure what do i do?

And here are some questions:

1) Do i need an fAA instructor to sign off on the application?
2) is my IAA/JAA medical valid or do i need an FAA class 3?
3) Do i need to do a BFR?
4) Do i need to do the FAA general knowledge written and oral test for the piggy back license?
5) What security checks do i need to have done-how much interaction and form filling is required for the TSA/FAA/others?
6) If a BFR is needed does it have to be with a DPe examiner (of which i think there are only 2 authorised in Europe) or can any FAA instuctor do it?

Thanks in advance
