Hello everybody,
I am about to start my modular CPL/IR/ME training in a flight school which gives the possibility to choose the EASA member state to issue your licence (the examiners are approved by different states).
For example, I could be issued with a "French" CPL, a "Swedish" CPL or an "Irish" CPL...
I am French so I can speak for what I know: In France the national aviation authority (the DGAC) is quite slow and not very reactive, so I would prefer not to be issued with a "French" CPL.
Another drawback with the French aviation authority is that if you have an ICAO level 6 in English they will transform it in level 5 if the test wasn't performed with them. So if you were issued with a level 6 in England for example, the DGAC will consider (despite the fact that most of them only speak French...) that you are not good enough at English.
This was only an example to introduce my question... as I get to choose the EASA member state for my CPL, I would like to:
- Find a member state which doesn't charges you huge amounts of money for everything you do;
- Find a member state which doesn't add many "country-specific rules" like the one I gave as an example;
- Find a member state which is efficient;
Simply put:
What is the best EASA member state for pilots ? 
I know that it may not be an easy question to answer as the tarification may vary, the rules are changing, etc... But what are your thoughts ? Is there a place where I could find more information to be able to compare ?
Thank you very much !
