ENGLISH PROFICIENT

Everyone should by now have their ‘English Proficient’ endorsements on their FAA licences.

Don’t forget that without it you cannot cross an international boundary.

Stand alone licences are easily endorsed – go to www.faa.gov and change your details for a paltry $2!

61.75 licences are a bit more problematic. You need to either go to the US and present yourself to a Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) or contact either of the European based examiners –
Tom Hughston 07710 564421 or Adam House 07725 071482
Either way, you will need a current (within 6 mths) validation letter issued by the FAA verifying your foreign licence.

A common misconception is that if your UK licence has ‘English proficient’ your 61.75 will, by association, have one too.
Not the case.
Your FAA licence must have the endorsement if you want to exercise its privileges to cross an international border.

All new issue licences will automatically come with ‘English proficient’.
