FAA validation in Europe
Does anyone know the ins and outs of these FAA validations that EASA PPLs are getting in Europe based on their EASA licences? The FAA licences are issued in Europe so they can fly their smart N reg aeroplanes in Europe but none of them I have spoken to have heard about the need for a BFR. Apparently there is no review of US airspace, FAA regs or a flight when the piece of American plastic is issued. What am I missing here?
