So, the FAA is saying that when you flew in europe, it doesn't count because you didn't hold a US pilot certificate??? That sounds pretty fishy to me. Perhaps they don't understand what you are asking. If you were qualified to fly that aircraft, it shouldn't matter what kind of certificate you held. PIC is PIC. Let me elaborate. A US Navy pilot flying F18s over Iraq might not hold any FAA issued certificates. He is also not flying an N registered aircraft. Would the FAA say that he can't log the time? No, because he was fully qualified per the flight rules he was flying under. You are (or should be) in the same boat as that F18 pilot.
