Hello, interesting thread. can I ask what the difference between the stand alone licence and the 61.75? I experience the same "problem" with an EASA and FAA licence. I have a rating on my EASA licence and I do my revalidation every year with FS in USA. I have also a FAA licence with no rating on it. The idea was to put my Beech rating also on my FAA licence... but for this I have to do a prior experience course... 18000$ even if I have 500 hours on this specific aircraft as Captain... explain FS, so I give up. Of course as I come from Europe every year I did the fingerprint at the begining and the TSA every year... I don't understand this prior experience course.
