FAA vs CAA PPL
Hi all, I searched but couldn't really see anything along these lines, but apologies if it has been covered before.
Anyway, I spend around half the year in the UK, and half elsewhere, often in the US/Caribbean. I am planning on (finally!) studying my PPL later this year or early next year and would like to know the differences (if any) between a US and a UK licence. Would I be able to fly on both sides of the pond with either? which one is going to cause fewer headaches when renting aircraft in various parts of the world? and is there any real point in having both?
Also, when it comes to re-validating or other ratings/type approvals will it mean a return to the issuing country?
Any help appreciated.
