CASA flight instructor in UK

[Rozzap]

Hi all,
first time poster so apologies for any formatting errors.
I’m an Australian PPL holder in the uk and am due for my 2 yearly flight review soon and my understanding is that IF I can find a CASA instructor in the UK, I may be able to do the review with them rather than having to go back to Australia.
how might I go about finding someone or am I dreaming?
thanks

If you can't find one, depending on how many hours you've got, you may be able to get a UK PPL with it, or a validation to use it. In either case, you need 100 total hours.

Once you've posted here 3 times you should be able to send a private message for more info. To anyone on here or even me if you wish!

thanks for the reply,
I’m going to the states in April to do some hour building to get up to 100 hours and then hopefully convert but Im cutting it a bit fine with getting those hours on the “piggyback” faa licence before the casa ppl needs the review.

Once the restricted (foreign-based) US private pilot certificate has been issued iaw 14 CFR 61.75, the privileges can be exercised after the CASA flight review lapses. The LOI to Andrew Krausz, 22 Mar 2012, explains that the limitation on the foreign licence, referred to in 61.75(e)(3), means a limitation expressed on the face of the foreign licence. The 4th para in that LOI is:

While 14 C.F.R. 61.75 does incorporate the limitations and restriction "on the person's US certificate and foreign pilot license," (emphasis added) that language refers to the scope of the authority reflected by the certificate itself. In other words, the pilot is subject to the restrictions and limitations that appear on the face of the US certificate or foreign pilot license. The language does not include the entirety of regulatory requirements of the foreign State since the holder of the §61.75 certificate is bound by the US regulatory requirements to exercise the privileges of the US certificate. The FAA views that language as addressing the limitations of the sort FAA uses, e.g., "not valid for night operation," where the individual has not completed the night training requirements.

You also have the option of obtaining a restricted Canadian PPL which doesn't require a flight test, though passing the test converts the licence to a standard one.

Rozzap I should add that you may do training as required to obtain a UK PPL where you lack 100 hours of total pilot time. It would require you to write all nine UK PPL exams, though. The provision for this is art 3(b) in Regulation (EU) 2020/723, as retained and amended by the UK. The UK CAA describes this as route 2 on this page, https://www.caa.co.uk/general-aviati...-january-2023/
