Uh, what do you mean? An FAA certificate never lapses. Do you mean an FAA medical? ; an instrument competency check?; or a 61.58 check in type?

Hi there people,

I think what pilotdawg means is ALL of those......... ie. the ICC, medical and recency of experience to act as PIC.

The medical can be done in various places, UAE's got several FAA Designated Medical Examiners.

The flying/ICC/BFR can be done in Jordan at the Royal Jordanian Air Academy www.royalflight.com (http://www.royalflight.com)

Alternatively, there are places in the UK which have N-registered light aircraft, and have access to current FAA instructors. You could contact http://www.flywatch-ltd.com/index.html for more info.

As said above, as you you know your FAA license will never expire, however to be current you need a Medical, Flight review and if IFR rated an IFR competency check.
There are plenty of FAA Medical centers in the Middle east and also CFI's for the checks. Also you do not need a N-registered aircraft for the flight review or the ICC.
