Hi all,
as the holder of a UK PPL(and ATPL exams) like many of you, I have been examining for many months now the possibility of doing a UK CPL in Madrid.
The CAA inform me that they would only accept such an arrangement on the provision that written permission is obtained from the DGAC (Spanish CAA) in which they state that they would have no objections to this.
The DGAC, however, will not (as I understand) provide such a letter of approval so its a classic 'Catch 22' situation.
I heard rumour that there may soon be an annex amended to the JAR's which would provide for CPL training to be conducted in ANY JAA state regardless of the students original state of license issue (in much the same way as ratings can at present be obtained).
This then would presumedely allow the DGAC to approve UK students training in Spain for UK CPL's.
My question is simply : Does anybody know anything of such legislation?
Also, what do people think of simply doing a Spanish CPL?
many thanks,
Emerald flyer.
