For more information, CASA’s website is located at www.casa.gov.au/fcl/overbr.htm#validation. There is no requirement to pass an examination for the issue of a Certificate of Validation. All licenses and ratings will be checked with the applicant's home country aviation regulatory body.

The list below is structured for US pilots. Most countries, except the U.K., will follow this list. For U.K. pilots, please click the above link for additional information regarding CAA authorization.
