if I understand correctly it would have been easier to create an IR written test than 14 exams;or ad an exam , IR, and get rid of the IR questions in the 14 written test.
For someone who let his cpl lapsed after 7 years, all he had to do is to pass the written test again and renew his IR SEP.
For the guys who have FAA&JAA, if a pilot go to the USA and do a FAA biennal flight review including IR check with a CFII, does it count for the JAA? or it must be give ny a FAA flight examiner(check cost 400$ plus plane).
what's the new rules with the EASA?
my God , it's complicated!
