Ok, well that clears things up somewhat a little...
I am still trying to work out all the rules regarding JAA Member states and uniformity etc, so you will have to forgive me for any errors/inconsistencies..
So the PPL is confined at National Level, fine..
I have already started studying for Ground Exams using OAT PPL CBTs so I want to get the so called 'rules' clear instead of messing this up and the PPL being of no use!
Ok my other questions in black and white (hopefully!) are:
1) If the PPL ground exams are done in Greece and the flying is done in Greece it is a Greek issued PPL. We are agreed. Therefore to have a UK IMC on it, what would be required?
Can the Greek PPL be validated by the UK CAA and have a UK IMC placed on it via the validation or is the rule simply ' to have a UK IMC, the PPL must be studied for and passed in the UK' ?
I have found a good school out in Greece with a good instructor, therefore which is why I am banging on about Greece, combined with whether etc, whilst out there I also hope to get my Class 1 medical.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
