LOL - The "english proficiency" entry in the FAA license set to count as ICAO Language Proficiency Level 4? So, native US private pilots holding FAA PPL have to take an english test in Europe every 4 years to keep their EASA Part.FCL PPL current - they can not be serious on that, or? Not few of the language "examiners" will be unable to understand native american speakers, not to speak of judge their english capability ... *sarcasmOFF*
It may be the right time, now, for the FAA to state an ICAO level of english proficiency on the FAA license.
