Licence question
Hey guys, I have a question regarding UK PPL(H) -> FAA.
I've contacted the CAA and FAA (awaiting response).
I have a UK CAA PPL(H). Last LPC was on the 23/01/2011. I haven't flown since.
Currently in the US, and would like to get back flying. The question I have is, what is the simplest process in getting back into the air. Can I transfer my UK CAA PPL(H) to an FAA one as it is?? or do I need an EASA licence first to do this?
With regards to my medical. I got a class 1 medical in 2013, I'm assuming that this has reverted to a class 2 which is valid for 5 years, as I'm under 30.
If anyone who has been in a similar situation could share their story. I'd really like to do this as efficiently as possible. The less paper work the better.
