The best way to have
Conversion Pilot License
FAA to EASA Part-FCL
The difference between validation and conversion of a licence: conversion of an FAA licence to EASA means completing the required exams and checks so that an actual EASA licence is issued, giving you a permanent EASA licence independent of the original FAA one.
Validation of an FAA/ICAO licence by EASA means temporary recognition of your existing licence, so you can fly under EASA rules for a limited period without obtaining a new EASA licence.

Route by route
Convert your FAA license to EASA under Part-FCL standards
Expert guidance from start to finish.
FAA PPL(A) → EASA PPL(A)
Flight time: Your FAA hours count; you only need to meet the standard EASA PPL minimums and have them documented in your logbook. Transition training: A short checkout and SEP refresher in the EASA environment. Theory: Oral PPL-level check, mainly Air Law and Communications. Skill test: PPL(A) skill test under FCL; if you pass on MEP, SEP is added automatically. Missing training: Any gap must be completed at an ATO.
FAA NR → EASA Night
Without night-flying restrictions: NIGHT is generally accepted. To document NIGHT training: 5 hours of night flying, including at least 3 hours dual, 1 hour of night cross-country, 5 solo take-offs, and 5 solo full-stop landings. Proof: logbook entries plus confirmation from the training organization.
CPL Conversion
An FAA CPL can be converted directly to an EASA PPL, with IR/MEP added if applicable. To obtain an EASA CPL, you must follow the standard route: EASA CPL/ATPL theory, required ATO training based on your experience, and a CPL skill test. Your FAA hours will be credited and may reduce the amount of training needed.
FAA IR(A) → EASA IR(A)
Valid FAA IR on SEP/MEP. ≥50 h IFR PIC: demonstrate IR-level knowledge of air law, IFR flight planning/monitoring, IFR rules, and communications. <50 h IFR PIC: pass a written exam in these subjects at an EASA CAA. Acclimatization flights, IR skill test IRE(A) on SEP/MEP; testing on MEP automatically grants SEP privileges. The PPL and IR skill tests can be combined if the examiner is qualified for both and all sections are flown.
FAA MEL → EASA MEP (land)
Your FAA licence must include the MEL rating. Minimum 70 hours PIC on aeroplanes, completed MEP training: 7 hours of theoretical instruction plus exam, at least 2:30 hours dual in normal MEP operations and at least 3:30 hours dual with engine-out/asymmetric flight training. Training and experience may be under FAA rules, EASA rules, or a combination; they are documented via your logbook and ATO confirmations. You then pass an MEP skill test in accordance with FCL.725 with a Part-FCL examiner.

A Class 1 medical is the higher standard required for commercial pilots and for students who plan to continue their training up to CPL or ATPL. A Class 2 medical is intended for private pilots and has slightly less stringent requirements. An initial Class 1 examination usually takes about one day, depending on additional tests, whereas an initial Class 2 examination typically takes around two hours.
