FAA PPL to NPPL
I know the question of FAA PPL and EASA has been widely covered on this forum however i'm struggling to find an answer to this little niche.
I've recently come back from the USA after completing my FAA PPL (I'd done most of the training in the UK but went out to the USA to finish it).
I've gone down the FAA route mainly because of the bill that the CAA presented me to obtain a medical (6 expensive medical procedures) and then hinted that I would have to fly with a safety pilot. The FAA took opinions from my doctors and granted a medical.
I now have the FAA PPL and around 70 hours logged and am back home looking to do some flying both UK and Europe (mainly France).
It appears to me that the easiest way to do this is through obtaining a NPPL with a medical sign off from my GP.
Does this make sense? and if so is there a conversion process of the FAA PPL into the NPPL?
All I really want to do is go privately flying, no major ambitions to become an airline pilot and I'm finding it quite hard to work out if my FAA PPL license is worth anything in the UK.
If there is another way of me going flying without going through another check ride and more exams then I'd love to know about it.
