Hier noch eine schöne Übersicht der US-AOPA, Auszug hieraus:
Flight Review:
Applicant Completes a Flight Review. A flight review, required by 14 CFR 61.56, must be administered by the holder of an FAA flight instructor (also: Fluglehrer, kein Examiner/Prüfer) certificate with the appropriate ratings before the foreign pilot may exercise the privileges of his or her U.S. pilot certificate. Proficiency checks administered by a foreign flight instructor do not count as meeting the flight review requirements of 14 CFR 61.56.
Medical:
In cases when a medical endorsement is not used, a current medical license from the person's foreign medical examiner or a current FAA airman medical certificate issued under 14 CFR Part 67 will satisfy the requirement.
14 CFR 61.56 sagt dazu:
