Hello guys,

My name is Enzo Berto and I'm living in France.

I'll quickly explain my situation in order to get your answer.
I did my FAA PPL (ICAO) in USA, I have a french ATPL theory (did with Bristol but via a french school called EPAG so it's a french ATPL) and now, I would like to do my CPL (probably in a JAA school in USA), IR and MCC in UK.

Is it possible to do it in UK ? If yes, what should I need to do ?

Maybe by filling that form ? http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/SRG1118FF.pdf (or it is only to transfer my FAA PPL in JAA ?)

Three more questions:
- In my FAA PPL, I've done night hours which are already included on the FAA PPL and I meet JAA night qualification requirements.
My question is: Do I need to do my night qualification JAA or that one on my FAA PPL is fine ?
I know that in a FAA PPL, the term "Night Qualification" doesn't exist but I'm wondering how to make it recognize by CAA UK or an other European CAA.
Maybe by filling this CAA UK form ? http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/SRG1126FF.pdf


I have English proficiency level 4 ICAO. Do I need RT and/or FRTOL exams in UK ?

I did my class 1 medical licence in France. Will it be ok in UK ?

Thank you very much.

Enzo.

In JAA land it does not matter EASA is taking over so there will be one body one licence. The night rating on the FAA PPL will carry over you need to complete the form as indicated by you . Yes you will need to do the RT test as its to ICAO standards

wicked approch

Do you know exactly when? As far as I know, it's not yet the case...

I've found on the EASA website their rulemaking calendar.
http://www.easa.europa.eu/ws_prod/g/doc/Agency_Mesures/Agency_Decisions/2009/2010-2013%20Rulemaking%20Programme.pdf
And it says:
FCL.001 (a) Implementing rules for pilot
licensing
The objective of this task is to
produce, based on JAR-FCL 1, 2
and 3, JAR-STD and the input
from the group MDM.032, the
rules that are necessary for the
implementation of the extended
Basic Regulation. Envisaged
deliverable: An opinion
proposing a set of rules
covering all pilot licenses.

Delivery: 2011,01
So, i'm afraid you'll still have to deal with JARs and CAA rules for a bunch of years.:}

Enzo, my best advice: Contact the CAA, there the only one able to help you and give you the most direct answers.
(et accessoirement, ils sont un peu plus efficaces que leurs collegues de la DGAC...)
