Missing the point .... ?
I think the responders are missing the point.
He has a Jar PPL(H) - so surely he can already fly solo at night for the purpose of obtaining a (JAR/EASA) night qualification - regardless of whether he has an (FAA- i presume) ?) endorsement - without circumventing anything -
so the answer to the first question would be yes -no?
and the second question - can it be cross country solo - I presume it can since only 3 of the required 5 night hrs need to be dual - have i understood that correctly?
