Hi all,
A newbie forum user and ex-pat here, now living in Slovenia and needing help with bureaucracy.... (have tried the CAA and EASA but not got anywhere yet)
I have completed 23 hours flying training in the UK (a few years ago now) and have just completed all 9 ground exams, also in the UK (tried to do it here, but was just getting too complicated).
Finding a reliable training facility has also been a bit of a challenge here, but have settled on the big guys at Ljubljana airport. Seem like a friendly and professional bunch. However, they have told me that the Slovenia CAA will not accept my UK training - even the ground exams - and that I must start from the beginning. Jeez. Surely that can't be right?
Their words:
He called on our CAA and they told him that you must do everything again because you must know our Slovenia relief and our planes and everything.
Anybody know what the rules are for transferring training to another EU country? It was my belief that EASA had sorted this out - but maybe not?
Thanks,
Ralph
