Before 31 Mar 02, you would probably be correct. After that, no - the flight training would only count if conducted by a FI who meets the revised requirements at a school which also meets the revised requirements. Hence such pilots with FAA PPLs would have to fly on that licence in the UK with the associated restrictions, including finding someone to conduct a biennial flight review if they haven't achieved the conversion requirements within the 2 years from the date of FAA PPL issue.. . . . <small>[ 21 March 2002, 07:05: Message edited by: BEagle ]</small>
