I need some advise and info on the following 3 FTO's. Their price range is about € 40-45k. Which is one of the lowest price i found for the whole package.

1. Adria flight school in Slovenia. They ask around € 39k. Not sure if any hidden costs.

2. Hero FTO in greece. They ask €46K. They give more flight training hours than FAS. All inclusive (housing exam fees etc)

3. FAS Rhodos pilots academy. €45k. All inclusive as well.

Having looked at the 3 options I still find it difficult to make a decision. Adria is flying with very modern glass cockpit planes. While the Fto's in Greece have an all in package.

Has anybody been through the same road?? Any students feedback on the above schools.. Any info is highly appreciated either PM or here on the forum!

I have never been to the Paris Airshow before and was wondering if I should buy a grandstand seat on top of my entry ticket? Any advice?

Entry is like £13, and a grandstand seat is £10 extra.

Was thinking of buying a grandstand if the it is worth the views, and because my non-aviation girlfriend will probably want to sit down/may get bored.

Thanks. :rolleyes: ]]> Spectators Balcony (Spotters Corner) CPL593H http://www.pprune.org/spectators-balcony-spotters-corner/515141-paris-airshow-2013-grandstand-no-grandstand.html Air Arabia MAC http://www.pprune.org/middle-east/515140-air-arabia-mac.html Sat, 18 May 2013 19:00:19 GMT Hi can you tell me something about Casablanca base, how to apply, what is the assessment proces etc. Hi can you tell me something about Casablanca base, how to apply, what is the assessment proces etc. ]]> Middle East leteci http://www.pprune.org/middle-east/515140-air-arabia-mac.html Air Arabia Morroco http://www.pprune.org/african-aviation/515139-air-arabia-morroco.html Sat, 18 May 2013 18:56:07 GMT Hi folks is any one know something about assessment proces in MAC Casablanca.

Hey fellows,

When having a FAA PPL/IR with multi engine ad-on, all EASA ATPL exams passed and all the minimum flight experience, what way will I be able to obtain the EASA CPL/IR/ME?

JAR-FCL states the following:

Quote:
FLYING TRAINING
10 Applicants without an instrument rating shall be given at least 25 hours dual flight instruction (see
AMC FCL 1.160 & 1.165(a)(4)), including 10 hours of instrument instruction of which up to 5 hours may be
instrument ground time in a BITD or a FNPT I or II or a flight simulator (See AMC FCL 1.160 &
1.165(a)(4)). Applicants holding a valid IR(A) shall be fully credited towards the dual instrument
instruction time. Applicants holding a valid IR(H) may be credited up to 5 hours of the dual instrument
instruction time, in which case at least 5 hours dual instrument instruction time shall be given in an
aeroplane.

11 (a) Applicants with a valid instrument rating shall be given at least 15 hours dual visual flight
instruction.
(b) Applicants without a night flying qualification aeroplane shall be given additionally at least 5
hours night flight instruction (see JAR–FCL 1.125(c)).
~Appendix 1 to JAR–FCL 1.160 & 1.165(a)(4) (

Quote:
(2) Whenever licences, ratings,
authorisations, approvals or certificates are
mentioned in JAR–FCL, these are meant to
be licences, ratings, authorisations, approvals
or certificates issued in accordance with
JAR–FCL. In all other cases these documents
are specified as e.g. ICAO or national
licences.
~JAR–FCL 1.005


Does this mean that even though I have an FAA IR I still need to take the "long" CPL course? Or will I be able to convert the IR first even though I do not hold a EASA license?

How about the night flying? I have more than 5 hours of night flight on my FAA license. Will this be credited towards the required 5 hours or will I need to take additional 5 hours in EASA airspace?

And last but not least:
If I need to take the long CPL course incl. 10 hours instrument time, will this be credited towards the minimum of 15 hours for the IR conversion?
