Private Pilot License Validation

To obtain a "holiday license", the foreign ICAO  license has to be valid. You have to submit proof to the competent aeronautical authority (depending on where in Germany you are going to stay) or the local Luftaufsichtsstelle authorized by that authority of:

• the foreign license
• validity of the license if it is proven by a special document and not entered into the license itself (Medical Certificate)
• not less than three take-offs and three landings with the type of aircraft concerned within the last 90 days before filing an application.

The recognition of pilots' and helicopter pilots' licenses is restricted to aeroplanes and helicopters up to 2000 kg licensed to a minimum flight crew consisting of one PIC, as well as to VFR flights by day.
You will be granted a certificate of recognition limited to the respective period of validity of the foreign license, however, to not more than 6 months. A renewal of the General Recognition is possible 12 month at the earliest after issuance of the previous certificate of recognition.
