Has anyone got any feedback about Sweden ?
Expensive and don't allow the examiner to sign your rating off for another year you have to go pay some cash and they give you a new license.

There is also some weird stuff to do with medicals that they will let you get a medical done in another state but then want to reissue the certificate and if they think you have missed out on any checks which they normally do in Sweden you have to go and do them.

Getting a ATPL is a right pain in the bum as well they have weird rules about PICUS and command courses. if you have an ATPL but no Multicrew command time they will only give you a CPL if your trying a swap into them.

Not as fast to respond as the Baltic states but not as slow as the UK/Spain or France.

Its a very inbred setup, everyone knows everyone in aviation in Sweden. And of course their way is the correct way everyone else is doing it wrong.
