The word we have gotten from the FAA is that they are in the process of rewriting their procedures for issuance of converted US Private Pilot Certificates on the basis of a foreign licenses. Until that is completed, we are told the suspension will remain in effect. And no one seems to know at this point what those new procedures might entail, but we all expect there to be some sort of background check required.
