The pilot needs the IPC to fly a USA registered airplane in
the USA. He can fly a outside the USA in any airplane on
the JAR license under JAR rules.

|I know the rules on IFR currency as far as the FAA
certificate is concerned
| but I have a scenario which my be worth a debate.
|
| A pilot holds independently both a FAA/IR and a JAR/IR.
The JAR IR is valid
| for 12 months and must be revalidated in the three months
preceding the
| expiry of the rating, usually with a proficiency
checkride. The checkride
| is required whether the rating holder has done 1 or 1000
approaches during
| the 12 months.
|
| The pilot has not flown the 6 instrument approaches etc in
the immediately
| preceding 6 months so is out of currency with the FAA/IR.
However the JAR/IR
| is still valid and in the next 2 months the pilot flies 20
instrument
| approaches, dozens of holds , airways tracking, the lot
in fact all solo on
| his JAR/IR, does that activity all written up nicely in
the log book then
| make him current as far as the FAA is concerned?
|
| Certainly it would have him as proficient but would the
pilot still need to
| go off with a safety pilot and do the 6 simulated
instrument approaches etc.
| Reading the FARs it would seem to me that he would despite
the fact that the
| approaches were done legally in the respective JAR
country.
