Genghis,
I agree with your medical comments, why cant they have one medical for all instead of all this messing about - as I said it makes a mockery of the whole thing as at the end of the day a pilot is a pilot and if hes able to lfy around in the UK or nip over to France he should be as safe as the next guy. Instead we end up with loads of conflicting info.
If we meer mortals are bringing up questions like this it doesn't given you much condfidence in what the guys over the water will come with next.
My other point of looking at switching to the FAA was the one of cost/currency rules which obviously have a lot more weighting in my case. I do not have loads of money to throw away and I am not going to sell/remortage my house to get money together to do it. I spent 1 hour dual in a Warrior yesteday for my club checkout at a cost of £145, not cheap! It is cheaper, more practical and cuurency arrangements don't carry as much red tape.
If you get the level of FFA CPL there are importers here who will pay you to bring planes over for customers - be a holiday with a difference!
