FAA licenses around the globe??
Hi,
Maybe someone could help me out with a question that seems to remain unanswered (for me at least!).
With respect to the FAA licensing of pilots (specifically Commercial and ATP) what is the general rule on acceptance of those licenses globally? After having a debate with another pilot I admit to being confused as to where I may or may not fly.
I am aware that I may operate an N-reg aircraft outside of the US (in accordance with appropriate rules and regs), but what of flying foreign registered aircraft. For example, if i wish to obtain a Maldivian or Sri Lankan license or just simply fly one of their aircraft, is it simply a case of completeing paperwork?
Maybe somebody could let me know which countries readily accept FAA as a suitable licence for validation/conversion and which countries require a more lengthy procedure.
Thanks for the help with this one guys.
