hey bertie. since you're a flight instructor ....do the yanks still do
the short course for an FAA licence based on a foreign licence?
the sorta thing you used to be able to do at oshkosh.
or have idiots like maxie and the 9/11 thing killed it forever?

something I'd like to do when I get to the US again.

I dont think you need a course. You just get a US licence based on your
own national licence.I think there's some lead in time so they can check
you out or something, but I think there's no testing in it. You need to
give the district office near where you're going a coll a few months
beforehand, I think. They can tell you better'n me anyway.

Bertie is correct, bring over your UK Papers.. and if the UK requires a
medical, bring that too.
Take it all with your log books to the local Flight Standards District
Office (FSDO) by appointment only, and they will issue a US certificate
based on your UK license. Then all you need is a BFR given by any local
Instructor that says you are good to fly solo.

Scary isn't it.
