Hi,
I am a UK citizen, now leaving in Norway. I started my PPL a few months ago (onyl clocking up a few hours), and want to continue to study for it, while leaving here for the next two years or so. However, as suspected this is not that straightforward, having contacted both the Norwegian CAA and the UK CAA, it seems that i must complete the exams in Norwegian - currently this extends to about 3 or 4 words!!! I have made a formal approach to the Norwegain CAA to do the practical course in Norway and the exams in the UK, but they are not too keen. They maybe translating the exams for me - but i`m not counting my chickens yet!
So...
I`m now in the throws of looking to do a PPL course eslewhere, namely South Africa - just checking the Norwegian CAA if i can fly on a Non-JAA state license - we`ll see!
Just wondering if anyone out there has had a similar experience??
btw - in Norway you have to sit all exams before going solo!
Cheers
