ICAO to EASA / acceptance of third-country certification
Hi
According to regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 from th3 03rd of March, I understand that under certain conditions an ICAO licensed pilot can convert his license to an EASA lisence without having to take the 14 theoretical exams but rather only test in Airlaw and English proficiency...
Am I getting this regulation wrong?
From what point will this regulation be valid?
tnx
