Your hours would count towards a US license, as the FAA recognize any training done in an ICAO country.
That said, with the new EASA rules (JAA is history), I think they *should* count, but am not sure. Why not give the DGAC a call? In my past experience they are very helpful. Also, the school you'll be training with in the US should know. |
its the country that the school is authorized through that you need to speak to.
Most in the US are through the UK. The UK doesn't have a problem if you were taught by a JAR or EASA licensed FI through a school. In fact you used to be able to count up to 10 hours from any ICAO state but i don't know how that stands these days. You need to do a search for CAP 804 if its a UK oversight school. |
FAA Regulations
§ 61.41 Flight training received from flight instructors not certificated by the FAA. (a) A person may credit flight training toward the requirements of a pilot certificate or rating issued under this part, if that person received the training from: (1) A flight instructor of an Armed Force in a program for training military pilots of either— (i) The United States; or (ii) A foreign contracting State to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. (2) A flight instructor who is authorized to give such training by the licensing authority of a foreign contracting State to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, and the flight training is given outside the United States. |
Most in the US are through the UK Training in France was not necessarily for a JAA licence, if it was, get the log book certified and have a copy of the RFs Registration Document which should then be acceptable towards an EASA licence; the JAA does not exist any more. |
