Quote from AOPA circular;
The new rules will have a potentially massive effect on American flying schools that cater to European students. For years, Europeans having been coming to the United States to earn U.S. pilot certificates at prices thousands of dollars less than what it would have cost had they learned in Europe. Then they return to Europe and fly N-registered aircraft. Now, American flight schools will presumably have to alter their curricula to conform to EASA standards.
My comment;
This obviously is going to place undue cost burdens on NA flying schools
having to change to meet EASA standards.
This is going to cost the European pilots, and NA as well. What a bureaucrtic FU !
