loungefart - not technically true.
There is no such thing as safety pilot time in JAA, so if you logged anytime as safety pilot - you cannot log this at all under JAA.
Also all training is Dual in JAA regardless of whether you are all ready rated on the aircraft.
Therefore PIC hours technically aren't logged the same and may not be valid in JAA.
This is quiet important information.
Is there a source which can explain this a bit more detailed?
