Thanks IP!
I had a quick look at LASORS and it states in Section A3
A person shall not act as a flight crew member of a
civil aeroplane/helicopter registered in a JAA Member
State unless that person holds a valid licence and
rating complying with the requirements of JAR-FCL
and appropriate to the duties being performed, or an
authorisation as set out in JAR-FCL 1.085/2.085 and/or
1.230/2.230. The licence shall have been issued by:
• A JAA Member State; or
• Another ICAO Contracting State and rendered valid
in accordance with JAR-FCL 1.015/ 2.015 (b) or (c).
Quickly looking at the relevent JAR-FCL sections they say that I would have to get my FAA licence validated by the CAA and to do this I'd have to pass a Checkride and the relevent skills test. Please correct me if I'm wrong though as it would remove the last reason for me not to do a FAA PPL
