China PPL?

[desser]

Any ideas if a foreigner can fly privately in China and use hourse accumulated there for a UK PPL?

[poor southerner]

seeing as only Chinnese can drive cars there. No. Unless you have an exeption for a special flight. Its commercial opps only

Maybe in a Cessna Skycatcher ?


(sorry, just a joke...)

Thanks for the reply....
I spend 2 weeks a month here (flying on BA LHR - PEK now much to my wifes concern!) but want to learn to fly. I guess it will be difficult if I cant keep up practice and knowing China suspected that it would not be straightforward here. I am pretty sure I can get around it in a typically Chinese way but then I figure hours would not count and would not be able to go solo as would need Chinese speaker for ATC.

Thanks again

Why not pop down to Manila and do it there. I did my PPL there and I'll be converting it at some point in the future.

Best,

I worked in Zhuhai for a year, managing a factory for a HK company.
I had and still have a valid Chinese Driving License. :8
