I was partly training in another JAA state and got a statement from the UK CAA that they will recognize valid ATPL theoretical passes made in that other state.
Now, 9 subjects later, the UK CAA won't recognize my passes due to 1.485 (all examinations are to be done in one JAA state).
I can, according to the UK CAA, only transfer the exams if I complete all 14 exams. This is not really an option since I won't have any use for POF(A), Performance etc since I intend to apply only for a helicopter certificate.
This case should provide for exceptional circumstances since I otherwise need to re-take those exams I already passed. I suspect that the UK CAA haven't given me an impartial judgement. This is due to the strong opposition of the UK "interim arrangement" from the other JAA state involved. Naturally, the UK CAA don't want to deterioate the relationships to other JAA states. If my case is tried outside of the CAA house those tacit elements would likely be of less importance.
