Actually, what I'm really looking for is information on the new European
license that covers all EU countries, not just the individual countries.
Does anyone have one of these? A friend of mine has one for power, but
he's not a glider pilot. He got his initial PPL and Instrument ratings in
the US, then converted to a German license, then converted again to Euro
license relatively recently. I don't entirely understand.

I figured that would really be the way to go. If it was just paperwork,
I'd get that taken care of so next time I'm in an EU country (which happens
fairly often as the case may be). I'd be all set anywhere but the UK, which
it appears would require BGA approvals.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a European pilot's license based
on a US license?

If so, what does it take? Is there only paperwork, or is a checkride
involved?
