hey bertie. since you're a flight instructor ....do the yanks still do
the short course for an FAA licence based on a foreign licence?

FYI:

FAA form 8710 "Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application" part II:
'Certificate or Rating Applied For on Basis of' includes option D:
'Holder of Foreign License Issued By'

They ask for Country, Grade of License, Number and Ratings. You can get
the form at www.faa.gov.

The relevant regulations are 14 CFR 61.75 - Private Pilot Certification
on the Basis of a Foregin Pilot License.

Good luck!
