Faa compared to JAR
I have been told that as my licence expired over ten years ago I would have to sit all the exams again. Absolutely you need an FAA registered aircraft to fly IR in Europe. But is it not a lot less demanding to have an FAA registered aircraft than a JAR registered one?
My original licence was issued by the IAA rather than the JAR type but apparently I still need to do all exams and flight test, again. the only thing that I don't need to do again is the hours, which of course is the only thing that I would truly look forwards to doing.
