TOT:

Hi guys, i Have read about FAA license in europe, now I'm waiting my TSA and FAA temporally PPl(H) for foreing pilots (I'm JAA pilot with more than 1300 hours), could TOT or other persons give information where i could do the written test center in uk?
Could give me information to contact FAA examiner in europa and or some place to rent a N helicoptero for check ride?

Thanks

Just to be a bit more specific the ground school exam can be done at Flight Safety International at Farnborough, and to confirm Adam House (Book Early to avoid disappointment, he is very very busy) is the only FAA approved Examiner for Europe. This is the route I took some 16 months ago.

In addition the Dauntless Checkride Exam prep is excellent and very good value.

Thanks Guys, very helpful.

If you already have a CAA PPL(H) plus some hours can you get exemption from any of the FAA training schedule or do you have to do it all again from scratch? Is there a night flying requirement for the FAA PPL(H) as I believe there is for its fixed wing equivalent?

Read This Then come back and ask questions---it may be easier.

FAA licenses do NOT expire.

Due to your spelling, I was unable to determine if you hold a UK PPL, and based your US license on it. Assuming you hold a "standalone" US PPL then this answer applies. If this is not the case, you will need to re-validate your UK license first BEFORE accomplishing the FAA portion.

All you need to have is a current FAA medical certificate, and accomplish a flight review required by FAR 61.56. (Relevant portions highlighted)

Sec. 61.56

Flight review.

(a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (f) of this section, a flight review consists of a minimum of 1 hour of flight training and 1 hour of ground training. The review must include:
(1) A review of the current general operating and flight rules of part 91 of this chapter; and
(2) A review of those maneuvers and procedures that, at the discretion of the person giving the review, are necessary for the pilot to demonstrate the safe exercise of the privileges of the pilot certificate.
(b) Glider pilots may substitute a minimum of three instructional flights in a glider, each of which includes a flight to traffic pattern altitude, in lieu of the 1 hour of flight training required in paragraph (a) of this section.
(c) Except as provided in paragraphs (d), (e), and (g) of this section, no person may act as pilot in command of an aircraft unless, since the beginning of the 24th calendar month before the month in which that pilot acts as pilot in command, that person has--
(1) Accomplished a flight review given in an aircraft for which that pilot is rated by an authorized instructor; and
(2) A logbook endorsed from an authorized instructor who gave the review certifying that the person has satisfactorily completed the review.
(d) A person who has, within the period specified in paragraph (c) of this section, passed a pilot proficiency check conducted by an examiner, an approved pilot check airman, or a U.S. Armed Force, for a pilot certificate, rating, or operating privilege need not accomplish the flight review required by this section.
(e) A person who has, within the period specified in paragraph (c) of this section, satisfactorily accomplished one or more phases of an FAA-sponsored pilot proficiency award program need not accomplish the flight review required by this section.
[(f) A person who holds a flight instructor certificate and who has, within the period specified in paragraph (c) of this section, satisfactorily completed a renewal of a flight instructor certificate under the provisions in Sec. 61.197 need not accomplish the one hour of ground training specified in paragraph (a) of this section.]
(g) A student pilot need not accomplish the flight review required by this section provided the student pilot is undergoing training for a certificate and has a current solo flight endorsement as required under Sec. 61.87 of this part.
(h) The requirements of this section may be accomplished in combination with the requirements of Sec. 61.57 and other applicable recent experience requirements at the discretion of the authorized instructor conducting the flight review.
(i) A flight simulator or flight training device may be used to meet the flight review requirements of this section subject to the following conditions:
(1) The flight simulator or flight training device must be used in accordance with an approved course conducted by a training center certificated under part 142 of this chapter.
(2) Unless the flight review is undertaken in a flight simulator that is approved for landings, the applicant must meet the takeoff and landing requirements of Sec. 61.57(a) or Sec. 61.57(b) of this part.
(3) The flight simulator or flight training device used must represent an aircraft or set of aircraft for which the pilot is rated.
