Hi all,
I am about to finish my PPL training plus I have logged 130 hours as glider pilot in Italy based on an italian Glider Pilot Licence (ICAO compliant).
The JAR allow me to get 10 hours credited from my glider time towards the PPL, so I only need 35 to take the skill test (or even less if we take into account the flight duration of the skill test fligh itself).
I am wondering if someone was in my same situation because I want to be sure that when I send the CAA the papers everything will go smoothly. On the phone they assured me that I just need to send my glider pilot licence (even if it is expired) and logbook (which is written in italian) and they will just check the logbook is ok (hours certified by a CFI) and credit the 10 hours.
Nevertheless, I asked the CAA to have this statement in writing and I haven't received an answer in three months.
I wonder if anyone went through the same process and if everything went smoothly.
Thanks
