foreign instrument rating...
hey guys,
I have a quick question. I validated my foreign commercial license to a FAA PPL (61.75) I then did the written exams to validate my instrument rating from the foreign license (61.75 d) Followed by commercial written and check ride etc... however, i did not do a instrument approach on my check ride.
Apparently this was not required since the instrument rating was already issued. Between the FSDO losing my paperwork, resubmitting paperwork, they have finally responded after about 5 months, saying a instrument check ride was required.
Do any of you guys carry knowledge on this? I don't mind doing check rides.. But this sets me back completing the ATP, and I am possibly losing a job over this. If only we knew about this earlier. Both the FSDO and DE said it was not required. Where in the law does it state this requirement?
Cheers,
