I'm sorry I can't offer anything useful, but I just wondered if anyone else had noticed the apparent complexity of this request?

Irish Pilot, requests American Instructor... in Italy!!

Wow. That really is exercising ICAO privileges!

There is a vast number of FAA CFIs/CFIIs in Europe, virtually all of them freelance. One could search the FAA pilot data website for Italian addresses.

The difficulty is not finding a CFI. The difficulty (in the UK, anyway) is being able to do the required flying legally. God knows what the aerial work rules (if any) are in Italian airspace.

When will you be back in Ireland? because I have a FAA CFI CFII and MEI, live in Dublin, and will not charge you a cent.

[IRISHPILOT]

Great ideas from porridge and Dpilot!
Unfortunately a trip to Ireland is not planned at this stage, as I live in Prague, but if anyone should be going anywhere near Prague any time soon, let me know. Would be happy to accommodate yous for a weekend or so...
So now off to search the FAA database, hope they have a decent search function...
No luck on the Italian forum yet.
Thanks to all for your help so far! cheers IP

Hi IRISHPILOT, I'm looking into it for you here in Milan. If you tell me what part of Northern Italy it would help. Also, try the Italian thread, there are a lot of people who read that section more.

Best,
PE

Hello,

Would suggest you try to contact Aviano Base (USAF) in NE Italy. Numerous USAF pilots have civilian pilot certificates. There also would be a base Flying Club there, for USAF personnel, and a few CFI would be on staff.

Likely that the base phone operators could help.

Various FAA offices are also located in Europe, head office in BRU, they might be able to help. Any FAA flight standard inspectors, including air carrier, are qualified to administer a BFR in lightplanes. If you fly that BFR there, in a I-registered aircraft, you must be current, qualified and licenced to operate that aircraft and the BFR check pilot will be considered as a passenger. Review FAR 61 pertaining to BFR requirements.

I often fly to Italy - FCO and MXP - would love to fly with you in a lightplane there, to administer your BFR, but unfortunately my FAA/CFI is no longer current, I myself could not find a way to renew it in Argentina... similar problem...

Happy contrails,
Skipper
