US Validation on EASA Licence (FARs 61.75)
Hi all,
I understand its possible to get an FAA validation (read: issued licence?) on the back of an EASA licence and have the relevant (EASA) ratings added to it. This is processed by sending all the blurb to the FAA via CAA and then getting a licence issued via a US Flight Standards District Office.
My question is does anyone know of a way of getting this done without being in the US? My understanding is that you have to actually show up at an FSDO with the approval paperwork and your licence to get it issued?
Ratings are automatically added with the exception of an IR, for which a written FAA exam needs to be completed before this can be done?
Thanks.
