Hmm, interesting. Julian, I don't have the night rating, that's the problem. Englishal, most of the people I've spoken to, including someone from the FAA, say that if I do the FAA PPL minimum night requirements, I'll be able to fly at night on my FAA license. Haven't got round to actually checking with the FARs tho. Does seem very strange if this isn't the case, but it certainly doesn't seem 100% clear, that's for sure. I'm not planning on doing FAA ratings, though, so no danger of the issue you had! Just the danger of flying solo at night, believing that I'm all signed off and ready to go, but actually being illegal.
Why can't things ever be easy???
Ah well, these things are sent to try us.

FFF,
Here's an extract from the FAA website, which should clarify things:

Here's an extract from the FAA website, which should clarify things:
Also, any limitations that appear on the foreign pilot certificate are limitations that apply to the U.S. certificate that is obtained under FAR 61.75. For example, some foreign aviation authorities do not allow night flying. That means a U.S. certificate issued on the basis of that certificate could not be used at night in the U.S.
