I am a private pilot with a European license, now living in the San Francisco Bay Area. As a holder of that license I have to do the equivalent of a BFR every 2 years and of course get a medical.
The airmen certification authorities in Germany have told me that both my checkride and my medical need to be done by an EU-authorized flight instructor and an EU-authorized AME respectively. Documentation from am FAA-certified officials are not accepted.
Does anyone on this forum know if there is a list of EU-certified AMEs based in the US (preferably in Northern California) and also if there is a list of EU-certified CFIs? Or would anyone know where I could try to find one of each of these? I am sure that I am not the only European pilot who has this issue... what do you others do?
Thanks very much!
