Good moring all,
I really need some advice/help. In 2001 I gained my CAA JAR-FCL PPL prior to going to university. As a student I could never afford to fly and have only recently been able to start flying again. I have been training in France where I live. After a few flights the instructor was really happy with my flying, planning etc and said I would only need 10hrs training to get to the point of SEP renewal. The issue I am having just now is with the CAA. I am trying to change my JAR-FCL to an Easa PPL. They are requesting for an English proficiency level 6 certificate and medical exam details (which I did in France). I note that they don't accept English tests from abroad so I'll have to go back to the UK to do this which is crazy as I am a native speaker. The thing I'm more worried about is whether they will accept my SEP rating after I have my flight exam in France. I have tried contacting CAA for advice but they never respond to me. Has anyone gone through a similar experience? Or does anyone have any advice? Do you think changing issue country to France might work?
All the best,
Scott.
