That sounds like what I recall from when I lived and flew there.As far as i know there is no EASA equivalent for 61.75.
So you would need to find an N- registered plane.
I had a German license while living there and it didn't cost me a dime. Maybe my company paid something that I didn't know about. Illinois has direct reciprocity there. Didn't have to take a test or anything.German drivers license (who knows why and if so it would be an undertaking costing thousands).
While this is true within the EU treaty area, there is no connection at all between US state and European national driving license records. License status and points on your record in the US will not be available to any country or local government outside of the US. The same is also true in reverse, which is BTW beneficial if you get a ticket in Europe while driving on any license… you pay the fine and in relation to your US driving record it’s behind you. You soon forget that you had no opportunity to contest anything and that you had to pay by credit card on the side of the roadNo need for a german driving license. If you "collect" points they will be in the database irrespective of your license.
I believe the rest are partial reciprocity. You just take the written test.Twenty nine out of 50 states is not too bad, if you’re in one of them now.
