But just do it with or without an experienced PPL in the other seat...?

This new concession allows him to do so. Under old and EASA rules pilot A must trundle off on his own to the nearest airfield and do a circuit then fly back to base to pick his mate up.

Why the need to fly off and do a circuit elsewhere? The requirement is not to do circuits, but take off and land. Just leaving the circuit and returning to land will fulfil the requirement.

Let's say you hold an EASA licence and an FAA certificate, have a share in a group PA28, and were out of currency at the point you head off for a month's flying holiday in the US. You re-activate your stand-alone FAA certificate with a biennial over there, requiring multiple landings, which also counts as your checkout. You pole about for a month in the US, solo and carrying passengers, carrying out dozens of take offs and landings. Is anyone seriously going to argue that your take-offs and landing in a US registered aircraft, flown under a non EASA licence in a non-EU state don't count towards currency on your EASA licence in an EASA type?

If it's not in the same class - e.g. you did it in a jet, I don't think that counts. Is that right?
GAFlyer4Fun wrote:I meant a SEP that is not an EASA type. Obviously a jet wont count towards 90 day SEP currency.
Outside EASA land there is no EASA or non EASA.
