I am aware that the validation is only valid aslong as my JAA license is current. This is the problem i have, i only have 3 months remaining on my JAA type rating. The local authority here accept a UK license but their had to be a member of the authority present at the check ride which there was not. The only other option i have is to convert my UK license to a Dutch license because they will accept the check ride for non JAA acraft. I was just hoping the UK would do the same.
