Differences between a checkride in the US and Germany

Hi everybody,

So i got my PPL in the US (at KARB) 4 years ago and now that I'm back in Germany I want to fly again after a 3-year pause. The idea is to convert the FAA license to a EU-FCL ticket. I need some hours to build up to get the minimum hours per year with a CFI and take a written. All no prob. I already have the medical and radio license.

However, what about the checkride? I will take a checkride with an examiner from the local LBA office (the German FAA). Apart from the standard maneuvers like slow flight, turns, recovery, engine-out, etc. are there any major differences I should be aware of?

Take care,
AlexUM
