Russian Pilot License?
I may have to go to St. Petersburg next spring (on business) and I think I'd like to bring home a Russian Pilot License as a rather unique remembrance.
I have an FAA private pilot license (ASEL) and I'm an AGI (Advanced Ground School Instructor), so if there is any reciprocity (as in FAA < > CAA) I figure I just might be able to take a test or two and get the license. What's involved in a Russian-issue PPL? Of course, I don't want to trade in my FAA stuff because I need it here. Do they honor my present license or would I be expected to start cold at zero hours? Written tests? Flight test? Language? Costs? Is this even possible? Best Regards, Echo Mike |
Hopefully someone on this forum can help you.
I pretty certain you've helped many of them of realising their dream in obtaining a UK pilot's license/certificate. |
I may be wrong but I had a friend who stayed in Russia for a while - he wished to do his PPL(H) and I can remember him telling me the hurdle which stopped him is you must speak Russian to go solo...I dont know if its true or not.

You are too kind. ;-) I have to tell you that I really, really do want ALL my students to be successful, and I get a great kick when they come over to me on the last day with a huge grin and say "Hey, I got my license!!!" I know how much I treasure mine, and I am honored to be able to pass this along. Best Regards, Echo Mike |
I seem to remember reading that you either need to speak russian or that you need to hire a russian navigator. I looked into this myself a few years ago, but decided it was a non starter. Cant remember why though, sorry.
Ive just realised that this isnt very helpfull at all, sorry. |
