You guys are great. Thanks.

Thats just what I need. In non-english countires it is possible to take the "Restricted flight radiotelephone operator certificate" in either the native language (in this case Danish) or/and in English. The first is an advantage since many small local Danish airports/strips only knows Danish. However then you are restricted to only Danish airspace.

It seems that the tests/exams are quite the same: 1 theoretical part (25 MC questions minimum 75% correct) and 1 virtual VFR flight. HOWEVER in DK (I dont know how it is in other countries), there is also a reception test of 10 messages (usually from an ATIS) that you listen to once, and you have to write the WHOLE message by hand. The latter is to ensure you shorthand skills, this is as I know NOT a part of the UK RT exam.

We also have the Language Proficiency in both languages, and most people (over 50%) a 6 (no expiry). I guess its the same in UK.

Thanks again to all of you!
