Thanks Keygrip !!!
Then the instrument and night flying are compulsory anyway.
My question may seem silly, but I am caught in the middle of European bureaucracy. Have been posting in other threads about this issue already !!!
Have done the theoretical Jar Cpl then an Jar FI(A) course recently in Italy.
I have a french Jar PPl (A) and the french refuse to endorse the newly acquired rating on my licence, thought both countries are JAA memeber states.
I was told that the french would implement mutual recognition under forthcoming EASA rules because they will be obliged to. When these will come into force is not clear, definitely not anytime soon.
One solution is to transfer my Ppl licence from france to Italy. Italian bureaucracy is a nightmare and I do not live permanantly there nor have a FI job..Did all of this for fun and to help local aeroclub during free time.
Then I would run into restrictions for my aerobatics and mountain rating, these are kept national.
Another solution would be to keep my french Jar (Ppl) and take the italian Jar Cpl where to have the FI(a) rating endorsed. Want to reduce expenses as much as I can..
Already spent 10'000 euros so far in courses alone.
Third solution - most likely- is to give up altogether...
