If EASA did license validation, like just about every other country in the world does
On which subject:- If EASA does what they say and make it illegal to fly an EASA a/c without an EASA licence then I won't be able to fly a 172 on my CAA licence. I will however be able to continue to fly my Luscombe because it's Annex II.
I will be able to take my CAA license to a non-EASA country and have it "rendered valid" to use the ICAO terminology so I can fly a 172 there. I will NOT be able however to have the same licensed renderd valid by my home State. What planet do these people inhabit?
