The hard fought agreement permitting the reciprocal recognition of FAA and European flight crew licences seems to have been signed in Brussels last week.
I am amazed that this seems not to have received more of a fanfare. I have only so far seen it reported in the French AOPA online magazine here.
On the face of it, when implemented (date to be announced) this will allow licence holders on both sides of the agreement to see their licences validated for use in each other’s aircraft. Licences in scope include commercial and instrument qualifications, not just PPLs.
I assume that the UK, being outside Europe by the stage of implementation will need to cut its own agreement.
