This is a dilema I have had for months. I am completing my PPL in Spain and would very much like to do an ATPL distance learning course at BGS, however the DGAC (Spanish civil aviation authority) have told me over the phone that UK ATPL exam passes are not valid in Spain and I wold have to do the CPL in UK. They said all training must be done in a single JAA state. One wonders what the JARs are for........
