FAA eases process of reissuing FAA pilot certificates for European pilots
To accommodate the format changes that were brought on by the new European Commission flight crew licensing regulations (Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011), the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted a deviation from its standard reissuance practice. This procedure and the associated administrative process will lessen the burden on European FAA pilot licence holders.
