or,
doing the SOLI and getting the CPL issued in Sweden - am I correct?
In the 2nd case, do I need to convert my PPL to a Swedish one?
Also, would a third case be possible, converting Medical&PPL to UK, then having a UK recognized examiner at DFAS for a UK CPL ?
Would this be an advisable thing to do?
How long would it take (I have until June 24th before I finish theory and in August is DFAS?)
I haven't yet done ICAO English or Night rating either. Planned to do it between end of theory and beginning of course at DFAS.
Any thoughts much appreciated!
Thank you
You do the SOLI and that's it. You do the training in the meanwhile and your CPL will be issued by the country where you transferred your medical. Regardless of where you got your PPL, regardless of where yous at your ATPL exams.
And you can do your Night Rating even in Portugal, then the school/instructor will give you the paperwork needed which you will send to your authority and they will print a new PPL with the NVFR on it.
So long story short, you can also have a UK licence and be tested under the UK CAA.
