JAA PPL to FAA PPL Licence Verification
HI,
Im currently going through the process on Verifiying my JAA PPL Licence in America to allow me to fly over there.
Simple Questions really -
1. When i visit the states to pick up the "FAAVerification" am I actually picking up a full FAA PPL Licence - or just a bit of paper that certifies me to fly over there?
2. And - how long is it valid for before I have to re-validate again?
ManyThanks
Tom

You should be issued with a licence which is valid at all times when your foreign licence is valid. In the case of the FAA PPL it is valid as long as you complete the Biennial flight review and hold a valid medical.
You will be issued a "restricted" license which will read;
"valid only if accompagnied by xxxxx license and all limitations of that license apply".
If your original license remains valid so does the US restricted one.
"valid only if accompagnied by xxxxx license and all limitations of that license apply".
If your original license remains valid so does the US restricted one.

So, in the long term, it is better to remove the piggy back restriction and complete the full FAA Certification process.
