can someone teel me if it is possible to add IR SE on my JAA PPL in another ICAO country,I MEAN SINCE IR is a rating can i add it to a validated license not the original jaa license as to avoid conversion of ppl.thanks.
I can only speak for the USA but yes, you can.
Either upon first application:
file paperwork for the 61.75 (certificate based on) application
take the "Foreign Pilot Instrument written test"
you will be issued a PPL/IR
the validated IR will NOT carry over to a stand-alone FAA CPL
At a later stage if you already hold the 61.75 validated certificate:
file paperwork for a new validation application
take the "Foreign Pilot Instrument written test"
you will be issued a new certificate
Common confusion: do not take the regular instrument written test, even though they are almost identical.
Written tests can be done in Farnborough or Le Bourget
