Some notes on the FAA PPL, TSA and Visa stuff etc are
here.
You can do a standalone FAA PPL in Europe again. I gather the highly respected Janeen Kochan, PhD, (FAA DPE) is visiting Europe and is available for checkrides.
Don't do a 61.75 because when EASA comes along there will be several thousand European 61.75 holders running around like headless chickens trying to get theirs re-done, based on their new EASA papers, and it will be hell which will be a lot worse than the ICAO English Language Proficiency pandemonium of a few years ago.
