Tim. It IS clear and is already"sorted"out in EASA land. Legislation has been
consulted on and passed through Brussels with minimum objection during
2011/12 Legislation is in place in Europe. The CAA managed to negotiate a
derogation to postpone implementation for a period to allow pilots to get
their EASA licence. ---BUT ALL faa pilots i know have buried their heads
in the sand. Some FAA instructors i know are even encouraging students
to do FAA licences which in the UK will be useless to them. !!!
