Well done DB6 - I knew that if I left it long enough, someone would eventually look at the CAA website. All of the information you need about licensing is either there or on the JAA website.
Bear Cub, if you believe what AOPA tell you it's no wonder you're confused. I have yet to meet anyone from AOPA who has the foggiest idea what is going on with JAR-FCL. I was told, categorically, by AOPA not four months ago that JAR-FCL 1 had not been amended - despite the fact that I had in front of me an amended version dated June 2000!
