EASA Mountain Rating
Trying to list all schools where a Mountain course can be taken within the EU, recently came across a FAQ doc concerning the new european rules for pilot licensing published by the UK CAA:
The EU regulations introduce a Mountain Rating, to replace the national rating that already exists in Switzerland and elsewhere. This will be granted on completion of an approved course on taking off and landing in mountainous regions. The effect of this in the future will be that pilots will not be able to take-off or land in mountainous areas with EASA aircraft unless they have a mountain rating.
If any of you wouldn't mind sharing their experience on this topic.
