After some research on the good internet, I am now more confused than I was before... :confused:
Here is the thing:
From what I gather, there is no such thing as an "Aerobatics" rating in the UK. You do a course, the instructor stamps your logbook and off you go. Very much like the difference training (VP, RU, TC) or the tailwheel endorsement.
Am I correct so far?
In Switzerland, things are a bit more official. You do a course, then pass a flight test with an examiner and then you get an ACR (acrobatic) annotation on the licence itself.
Now the question is :
I have a UK issued JAR-PPL but for various reasons wish to do some aerobatic training in Switzerland. Obviously, the Swiss CAA cannot touch my licence because it's a UK licence. So what is the proceedure? Do I just do the training then get the instructor (wich has a JAA FI Licence) to stamp the logbook? Or would the CAA get funny about this?
Anyone had some similar experience?
