Rodders,
That's exactly what I had thought until recently. I was having a conversation with a pilot who ran into problems with his JAA-FCL ATPL(A)-Modular route. He had applied for a job flying a French regestered aircraft. The company had said his application could not be processed because the French authority (DGAC)will not recognize his credentials. This was because his "modular" flight training had taken place partially in a non-member state (USA) - even though it was taken at an approved FTO. They said only "integrated" courses taken in part outside the member state and therefore his FCL is not valid. According to JAR-FCL 1.055 (a) " Provided that the approving Authority considers proper supervision to be possible, training will be confined to all or part of the ATP integrated course" - it would appear thet they have a point.
Obviously this route is acceptable for pilots wanting to fly G regestered aircraft, but I'm wondering about flying other member-states regestered aircraft.
