JAR-FCL has now been around since 2003
It was introduced in July 1999 for aeroplanes and all existing licences have been maintained in accordance with it since Jan 2000!
sorry Whopity, I forgot to reply. Here in Germany it wasn't introduced until May 2003. Before that we actually had no idea what was going to hit us!
To this day I can't understand why no one has complained about the hours not counting in the first 12 months. If I flew (and paid for) tons of hours the first 12 months, then was unable to fly often enough the second 12... that's unfair! AND, lots of pilots skip flying the first 12 (see above...), which could be a safety factor, or not? From day one I thought this regulation stupid, but it seemed no one else did.
