Also we are missing a second altimeter. I’m toying with the idea of having the DPE come to Germany but technically we can't even file IFR due to local laws.

I sent an email to the DPE... I'll let everyone know what he says.
Ohhhh. ICAO. That's a whole 'nother ballgame. Double, triple check that you don't get the two different systems confused.
