Having read through this thread I am looking for a little advice, After absorbing the content of the thread in regard of the proposed EASA rule changes, I am a little worried regarding my current PPL training.
A brief outline is..
I am a UK citizen and reside here in the UK, as I am now semi retired I am a frequent visitor to Florida where we have a holiday home, this year I decided it was time to fullfill a long ambition I have had to obtain a PPL while I still have health and hopefully a few more years still ahead (I am 63yrs old, so don't have a great deal of time left on my side)
Partly due to cost and partly due to the agreeable weather in Florida, I decided that would be where I would do my PPL training.
For the last couple of months I have been training while in Florida, I now have some 50 hrs logged and have completed my solo time. I am due back in Florida for June & July, then I hope to complete my cross country and night requirement training and be in a position take my checkride to get my PPL.
After reading about the new rules that are coming into force, I am now worried that I will be required to re-train again here in the UK to be allowed to fly here.
My questions to those with a better understanding of the situation is...
1. Should I now consider cancelling the rest of my US training schedule and sign up with a flight school here in the UK to finish off my PPL training ?
2. Will my current US hours/training count towards completing my training here in the UK
Thank you, any opinons/advice would be most appreciated.
Allan.
