French PPL with an FAA CPL???

Bonjour,
I need some information about the possibility to obtain a JAA French PPL. The person that needs this conversion has an FAA CPL (Single-Multi) and IR and about 300hrs. She would only be interested in a JAA French Private VFR to fly in France (where she is resident) for fun.
I thank you very much for any info you could give me.
Happy flights to all.....

Valdation FAA in France

Hola Ironsides -

No problem for that, I did get validations of FAA/ATP to fly French airplanes a few times.
All ICAO countries offer such type of validation.
Hope that she can handle some amount of French language. It helps.
See http://www.dgac.fr/
Phone and address of DGAC office (in Paris) can be found on that site.

She will get a validation (if I recall, valid for 2 years).
This with all her ratings and privileges, ASMEL/IR.
Not valid for flying for hire, nor commercial operations.
Her FAA certificate must remain current when she uses that validation.
Tell her to also bring a logbook, passport, FAA medical and FCC.

Bon vol - Les aéroclubs sont très sympas en France.

Happy contrails

Hi BelArgUSA - I have heard different from you. A French pilot I know who has FAA CPL/IR and FI recently came back to France to work as an FAA IR instructor, and he was obliged to do his French PPL practical test in order to fly JAA aeroplanes.

The last time I had a DGAC validation was in 1991.
France is member of ICAO. A FAA certificate is ICAO as well.
Mutual validations of ICAO licences, for non-commercial purpose.
