I have an FAA PPL issued on the basis of my UK CAA PPL (which has Night and Multi Engine Ratings) I have also completed my FAA IR. Does this mean that I will not be able to complete my FAA CPL without doing the PPL, Multi and IR Flight tests again so that I have a standalone FAA PPL and not a converted one prior to doing the CPL flight tests?
If so means it will cost lots more cash than I have budgeted for.
