But am I right in thinking after April 2012 when EASA take over, the hours will not count?
This is becoming a issue I have with buying my own aircraft;
I can afford to buy & maintain a 2 seater PtF AC with say a 582 rotax engine.
And with the hours counting toward CPL/FI I'm happy with that, but I can't afford to have my own aircraft that I'll use every weekend (weather permitting) and also pay £150p/h to fly the local spam can to build hours.
Buying and running a CoA aircraft isn't cheap
