I see there are still many bureaucrats here defending the current situation between the UK and EASA. The fact of the matter is UK-Part FCL is an identical replica of EASA Part FCL: the training is the same, the training centres are the same, the examiners can be the same, the aircraft are the same, the requirements are the same and the standards are the same, the skills tests are the same and the medical requirements are the same… etc.
It’s purely political by both parties and it favours absolutely nobody.
