Just so you know, the JAA PPL exam papers does not belong to the examiner rather they belong to school and school must appoint a nominee for the same. Before I left NAC, we nominated Nikki for the exam papers. Now that doesnt mean that Nikki can conduct the exams, but there are examiners who are willing to travel to NAC for exam papers and flight tests.
So this indicates the following is possible;
After jumping through all the hoops to get JAA certification, the school in question can get rid of all required personnel after nominating an employee to sit on the exams.
The school can still provide their customers with a JAA PPL , this time without any supervision from the CAA or any inspections, and without holding any JAA certification.
Just hire an outside examiner to review the exams.
Students will have to complete a FAA PPL prior to conversion.
That is a travesty of the rules.
Since students are being trained in US airspace in N-registered aircraft by FAA certified Instructors without any oversight I would suggest to the CAA the following:
*enforce the rules as you are supposed to do, or
* allow any school in the US (or Canada/Australia or anywhere for that matter) to have the PPL exams and be able to offer "JAA PPL".
The customer (yes, students are customers contrary to popular belief)
will have the chance to make a better choice for flight training.
