Whopity,
You said "it would make sense to change your State of Licence Issue to the Netherlands."
I think I now agree.
Only, how do I best go about it? I currently have a UK JAA PPL, not EASA. Can I directly convert it to NL-Issued EASA and maybe keep my SEP rating in the process? I think it will for sure make my life easier in future.
Would be a shame if I first have to do the SEP skills test, then send off to the UK to convert to EASA (with all the costs) and then again have to get the NL authority to convert to a NL-EASA license.
I know from experience the Dutch authorities (with everything, driving, taxes, etc) are far more disorganised and b(euro)cratic than the UK are!
Thanks again!
