Exclamation Shakespeare's Sonnets

Hello there, I have written a wee bit on this b4 (search above). It was with much astonishment that I was told by the DCA that I could not prove I could speak English without some additional piece of paper.

If you have a UK JAA PPL then any subsequent skills checkride you do with an examiner (for a Night Rating, IMC etc) would provide you with an opportunity to get a Level 6 sign off from the examiner.

I did this for an IMC renewal too - so I guess the option is also there for a simple SEP renewal.

I photocopied the relevant piece of paper and stuck it in my logbook.

The downside with the Language test is that you may have to redo it in a few years time. It is only with Level 6 that you get a life time sign off. As one of the earlier correspondents pointed out there also seems to be a bit of a memory test in this so you may get an unpleasant surprise.

Gud Luck
