EFT Syllabus

[Cliffk]

Hi all,
I was in ADstAUAS and completed up to my PNT (approx 58 hrs) before we were grounded in the Summer of 2004. Unfortunately I graduated that year and did not finish the course.
I am now in the process of starting private pilot training.
Can I use my EFT flying to gain a PPL?
My logbook is signed off by my CFI but alot of the flights are entered as EX23 etc. Is there anywhere I can get a copy of the EFT Syllabus so that I can show an instructor exactly what EX23 was?

I would be very grateful for any advice,
Cliff

From LASORS (http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/LASORS_07.pdf):

No. 1 ELEMENTARY FLYING TRAINING
SCHOOL SERVICE ELEMENTARY FLYING
TRAINING COURSE/UAS FLYING COURSE
Flying Training/Theoretical Knowledge
Requirements
Graduates from the Service Elementary Flying Training
Course (commenced November 2000 onwards) will be
presented with a Course Completion Certificate by, No.
1 Elementary Flying Training School, indicating FULL
or PARTIAL accreditation towards the JAR-FCL
PPL(A) requirements detailing either a fully completed
accredited course or completed parts of an accredited
course.
Graduates presented with a full accreditation course
completion certificate (annotated with a Green Border)
will be credited all the flying training and theoretical
knowledge requirements. Graduates presented with a
partial course completion certificate (annotated with a
Yellow Border) will be credited only the elements
completed during EFT training. Students will be
required to complete the outstanding elements to
qualify for licence issue. In both cases, credit for the
PPL(A) skill test will be given for a period of 24 months
from the date of the Final Handling Test.
Any previous flying experience in single-engine piston
(Land) aeroplanes gained during any Service
Elementary Flying Training Courses including the UAS
Flying Course (that commenced prior to November
2000, or incomplete courses from any period of time)
may be counted towards the requirements for the grant
of a JAR-FCL PPL(A). Applicants wishing to claim
credits against these requirements will be required to
attend a registered facility or approved FTO and
provide logbook evidence of their training (certified by
their military course instructor) to the Chief Flying
Instructor. The CFI will then establish a course of
training taking into account previous experience to
ensure that the specific requirements of C1.2 have
been met.
In addition to any flying training required (where there
is a shortfall of requirements), applicants will be
required to complete one cross-country flight of at least
270km (150nm), during which full stop landings at two
different aerodromes of departure shall be made, pass
all JAR-FCL PPL(A) theoretical knowledge examinations* and pass the PPL(A) skill test.

ENJOY!!

Can I use my EFT flying to gain a PPL?

Yes. All the hours will count, but you may need to cover some of the exercises which you weren't taught in the UAS. 'Precautionary Landings', for example. Your main need will be pilot navigation; you will need to know how to use a Dalton-style computer to plan your navigation exercises.

My logbook is signed off by my CFI but alot of the flights are entered as EX23 etc. Is there anywhere I can get a copy of the EFT Syllabus so that I can show an instructor exactly what EX23 was?

No real need - you've got stacks of hours.

Sorry, but any exams you might have taken will now be outside the bracket for licence application and you'll need to take them again.

Cliff, let me know if you don't get any joy and I'll scan in a copy I have lying around somewhere and send it to you.
