CASA to FAA
I have a CASA Class 1 Medical which restricts Rotorcraft and Agriculture (this year CASA scrapped the International restriction) due to Amblyopia. My medical expires in March and I will be moving to San Jose California for a gig teaching aerobatics. If I apply for a Class 1 in America will it be treated as an Initial or Renewal? Will I need to do a SODA? Will it help if I bring the complete write up from my DAME here?
Thanks in advance.
P.S.
Ag never interested me but fire bombing does. Will my CASA restrictions still apply in FAA space? If I get a fire gig in the US, will I be able to keep that rating when I come back to Oz?
