>I have also a FAA Ppl (based on my easa licence )
if you already have a 61.75 faa ppl you absolutely don't need a letter of verification. Letters of verification are for people getting 61.75, not people who already have them... ( but be aware that the 'based on' licence number written on it must match exactly your current easa licence, or it isn't valid and you will need to do teh whole process again, including verification of your easa licence) but the rest of the advice from Marker Inbound is very good. You will need TSA as it is an initial FAA licence ( the 61.75 doesn't count) . You will need to read 61.123 and 61.129 in every detail and those are your bibles to getting the rating issued. It is those parts that the DPE will use to accept you for the check ride. If you are using your 61.75 for any time you are flying solo, it can be used with your easa medical, but by the time you get to the checkride you will need a faa medical.
