A slightly orthogonal question on a similar topic so forgive me for putting it here. I'm currently working through the journey of getting an FAA PPL > IR > CPL having been flying on my UK PPL in the US for the last year.
I was just told by an FAA examiner that none of my UK instruction can be counted towards the minimum hours for dual instruction because my logbook was not signed by any of my UK instructors.
Has anyone found a way round that?
