(d) A person who has, within the period specified in paragraph (c)
of this section, passed a pilot proficiency check conducted by an
examiner, an approved pilot check airman, or a U.S. Armed Force, for a
pilot certificate, rating, or operating privilege need not accomplish the flight review required by this section.
At least ICAO is going to consider you a native speaker, and give you that proficient in English endorsement, defacto. Besides that, you are going to have to do some learning, and reading on your own, and not depend so much on what some moron running an itty bitty flight school tells you. In the matter of a pilots license. When have you ever received ANY PAPERWORK that said LICENSE. It's a CERTIFICATE. Welcome to the big boys club!
