Thanks for the response.
I have sifted through the document you posted but some areas are vague--at least to me.
For example:
Is a British or Austrian licence considered a JAA licence? Or, is a JAA licence a seperate document issued by the JAA authority? Conversly, do member states still issue their own licences which are then considered JAA licences?
As another example, if I moved to, lets say Italy, and converted a foreign licence to an Italian one would they issue an Italian licence or a JAA licence and, if it was an Italian licence, is taht then considered a JAA licence for the purposes of being hired by a company that requests a JAA licence.
I understand that for those working within the JAA environement that these are simple questions, but for an outsider it can be somewhat confusing.
Cheers
