starting up a new fto

[jxc]

Hi

This may be a really stupid question (probably not the best way to start )
how easy would it to start up a flight school in say Romania and basing it on JAA UK ?

cheers

p.s. be gentle with me

You need to look at CAA Standards Document 39 - JAR-FCL Criteria for the Approval of a Flying Training Organisation offering Training for the JAA PPL and Night Qualification for Aeroplane and Helicopter, in a non-JAA State.

Does it need to be a full-blown FTO, or would a RF do?

A JAA State is not permitted to approve an FTO or Register a Facility in another JAA State. You will need to go to the National Authority in the State concerned.

If it is not a JAA State then the application will need to be made through the JAA transition office in Cologne.
