FAA IR
Adam, I have had a piggyback FAA CPL and IR for some years. I recently renewed it due to downgrading my UK ATPL to a PPL due old age, when the licence number changed. My newly issued FAA lic is still a CPL/IR.
I enqired about the FAA IR when UK IR expired with the FSDO. The advice given was, as long as I kept the basic foreign licence valid, medical etc., the FAA IR would remain, as long as the FAA rating recency requirements were complied with.
There seems to be some variance in opinions regarding this.
I will not enquire further , and will produce my FAA advice at any subsequent Enquiry!
