I have been planning on going to Florida to do my JAA PPL this summer, completing the theory exams at a local flying club prior to going out there.
However, reading about the new EASA regulations it seems this may no longer be a possibility as it talks about having to take each exam at an appropriate stage of your flying training. I suppose this won't stop you preparing for the exams then just sitting them at whenever EASA have deemed a suitable stage of your progress though. Am I correct in my thinking here or are there other considerations to be made (ie. timing of taking the exams as EASA kicks in 1st April(?))?
I am fairly confused about all this change of regulation so I may be wide of the mark with all this.
Finally, my plan being as it is, am I going to have to consider anything else as a result of this change of regulation?
Thankyou for your help.
