Hi Everyone who is currently flying in non-JAA state and planning to convert FAA to JAA. EASA is planning to take over licencing...and that´s not good news for us who is currently flying or planning to go flight school in states/canada or in non-Jaa country or not in JAR School because EASA is planning a "Law" for making conversion impossible. I got advice to do all conversion before May 2010 because after that it could be impossible. It is not 100% sure yet but I got this information from finnish civil aviation authority. So people in this forum... have anyone heard this rumour as well?
ps. I´m currently flying in Canada and my luck is( if that scenario happens) I will be done here(CPL,ME/IR) in September-October and after that I´m coming "Home" to Europe and I have been looking Schools to convert over my CPL and ME/IR and of course to do ATPL ground school. I have heard/Read at Bristol is good for ATPL GS but how about CPL and ME/IR?? So I need help
and I appreciate any help. THANKS
(sorry about my english it´s not perfect...fourth language
)
this is just a rule for remind people what is ahead when conversion is an issue...
