I can appreciate that perhaps in certain cases the UK CAA might not be the most comfortable with experience gained elsewhere being up to its (perfect of course) standard. But I'm sorry - personally I think they just want to penalise those of us who want to save our pennies for other purposes by insisting that regardless of how much we've done elsewhere it's of no value whatsoever here.
Oh in THAT CASE, fill in form JAR-FCL 101, 'Application to convert half finished PPL courses, undertaken in non-JAR compliant states to a full JAR-PPL'
Its the new provision made by the CAA to accept, without question, anything done anywhere by anyone, anytime.
They are quoted as saying "Safety, don't be silly, we just make up rules for the sake of it"
Oh and the Licence issue fee is only 99p
