Hi
I have a JAR PPL which expires in September. I'm not up to date on the alphabet soup of licences available to me to replace it.
I am a 59 yrs old Brit and the only time that I have ever flown outside Europe was 20 years ago in the U.S. I don't fly IFR or multi engine and probably never will.
Am I right in thinking that my two choices are
1. EASA LAPL
2. EASA PPL
and that the differences are that a LAPL is easier re medicals but won't let me fly outside EASA land.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Also I have been trying for ages to get my level 6 english prof. but everyone I ask ( including staff at the Belgrano and on stands at AeroExpo etc.) says that they can't do it.
Can an LAA bod test me or do I need to go to a flying school and presumably pay a lot of money for them to do it?
thanks
John
