JAA regulators will be imposing changes soon, one of which is that any person training another for a particular type of licence must themselves hold a licence approved by that regulatory body i.e. an FAA instructor will not be allowed to train a student for a JAA licence without holding one him / herself
The suggestion from EASA is that by the time this is implemented there should exist licencing reciprocity between FAA & the EASA states - i.e. an FAA CPL holder would be entitled to an EASA CPL in much the same way as PPL's are currently.
Hence, it should be no more than a paperwork exercise.
