My question is this, can I use my IAA class 1, combined with UK CAA (looking at bristol) ATP exams, and flight training from one of the cheaper European countries ( I'm thinking Greece / Spain etc) and combine them all together to get my JAR license? Or do I have to do all the training (ie. medical, theory, flight training) within the confines of one European country?
As I understood it, if you write the ATPLs in a member state, you are obliged to do the CPL skills test in the same state. There are some FTO's with exceptions to that, but if you are modular, you aren't able to switch between countries like you want to do (above) The IR can be done in any member state and converted onto your country licence as its only a rating and not a licence in itself.
