Ah, must have changed since 1990 when I had my initial class 2
Yes, you are right ! It all changed in July 1999, when we entered the JAR era. Prior to that licences and medicals were UK ones ( and the medical for PPL was actually a class 3 ). Under that system neither SPL's nor PPL's needed ECG's until after they turned 40 years.
Hello. I had my initial class 2 last month, cost me 220 euros in Dublin
That equates to approx £ 173, which is not too far away from what I said earlier. I wonder if that included VAT, though ?
