So if I have a JAA PPL with four years to renewal, and intend to do an IMCr for the first time before April 2014, does it make sense to get an EASA now (first), get the IMCr first and then convert to EASA, or simply add the IMC to the JAA and wait until 2017 comes around to convert?
As a separate Q presumably an FAA piggy back becomes invalidated by the change to EASA and needs to be applied for again?
