FAA JAA type differences

[Fuji Abound]

Anyone know the story on the transfer of priviliges from JAA/CAA to FAA.

For example, with a FAA SEP piggy backed on a JAA/CAA (or a stand alone FAA for that matter) will you also have multi, IR and type on your FAA if these are on your CAA/JAA.

I think the multi can be carried accross, don't take it as gosspel though. As for the IR you have to do the FAA IR and add that to your piggy backed FAA license.

You can apply for the ME on the back of your JAA rating but have to do the 50 question IR Exam then you can operate on your UK IR provided its valid. You will still have to go through the verification rigmarole even though you already have a FAA License.

I think the context of the original Q is N-reg operations outside the USA, so...

FAR $61.3 (a) (1) says: "when operated within a foreign country, a current pilot license issued by the country in which the aircraft is operated may be used".

IMHO, a JAA license with a JAA IR would do fine for an N-reg. Certainly in the UK if UK issued.

Thank you so far.

IO - I understand why you assumed this, but it was with a view to use in the States that I was interested.

Whopity - so you are suggesting the ME is a given on the back of your CAA ME, but you have to apply. Are you saying it is a letter to the FAA saying you have an ME on your CAA and want to add this to your FAA? Do then they simply make the addition?

So far as the IR is concerned can you expand? Is it simply a matter of doing the written and is it a similiar application?

You also mention you have to got through the verification procedure. Is this true of both the ME and IR?

What about Euro land differences? Tailwheel, pressurisation, and type ratings?

Hi SoCal App

I have an FAA PPL issued on the back of my CAA PPL, how can I obtain a stand alone FAA certificate ?

Unless he lives in Ireland in which case, I gather, he needs a FAA Class 2 or higher.

Somebody here posted that the Class 3 is sub-ICAO and that the USA has filed a difference to ICAO on this. I wish I could have a reference - the ICAO docs are here (http://dcaa.slv.dk:8000/icaodocs/).
