European legislation for the licensing of pilots-CAA letter to all UK Licensed pilots
Hi all
I received a letter titled as above in today's post (as, I guess, you all have recently).
It says that a new licensing scheme is on its way (I knew that). It advises me to look at a particular place on the CAA website (I knew that place existed and roughly what it said), and that it's my responsibility to figure out the effect and comply with the law (I knew that) and that the CAA won't write to me again about this.
I read the website with care. I now have a headache.
I retired from the RAF last month with a UK ATPL(H) pus IR on S61N, lapsed by many years, and a UK PPL(A)+N+IMC lapsed even more (the last powered fixed wing I flew was a Hunter in 1980). I have 6700 hrs including 2700 hrs PIC multi-engine multi-crew helicopters. I want to carry on flying professionally. I am prepared to pay for necessary ratings.
Is there anyone out there who specialises in explaining the effects of this to numpties like me who only have 2 degrees and who will guide me through this to the best available solution for a reasonable professional fee?
yours utterly baffled (and still unemployed)
