Hi all,
There is an old thread on how to use your £2000 ELC for a PPL but I was looking for an update from those currently in the know. I would have PM'd A&C but he is not taking PMs!
I last used my CAA PPL in 2002 (single engine aeroplane) and have forgotten everything. Now I am a stinking civvie I rather fancy using my last ELC to get current and fly for fun. My local club (Headcorn, Kent) is not registered with the ELCAS scheme and I suspect it will take a loooooooot of admin chafe to get them on the scheme.
1. Is it as simple as getting a med certificate from my local AME and applying for an EASA licence then flying a few hours with an FI followed by a skills test?
2. Is there anywhere in the southeast that takes ELCs for PPL training? According to this list
Index of selected ELC approved providers and courses
my closest FTO is Thruxton...bit of a trek from west Kent but hey ho.
3. Is this project doomed to fail with the ELCAS/learning police?
Thanks for any advice from those still flying and training to fly!
