mad_jock,
funny, you flew from Aachen. I know the the airfield, even got an hour of instruction in a warrior once to fly a few circuits after years of flying only the Boeing. Quite interesting...
Itīs true, under the national rules you had to ad a so called CVFR rating to your PPL to legally fly in class C airspace.
That has changed know that the JARs are in effect I think. I am not up to speed on JAR FCL though. I still fly with my national ATPL and it will be converted to a JAR ATPL when itīs due for renewal.
It used to be 24 hours within 24 months to get your PPL renewed. I understand that has changed to a certain amount of sectors (T/Os and landings) now. I am not to worried about that, though, since my company deals with the authorities for me.
I think even the FTOs here in Germany donīt have all the relevant information on JAR FCL, yet. After all , it has only been here for nine days now!
Do you plan on coming to Aachen again in the future? If so, let me know!
Cheers

thanks for that! Do you know of a good place in spain? Any contact details. Close to Malaga would be ideal. I can get there very inexpensive.
You are right, teaching just to build hours is not enough. I am more interested in flying some real airplanes again, get a chance to brush up my own basic flying skills and knowledge, and of course in teaching people to fly!
Thank you for your help! Save flying!
