Flight school in Morocco
Hello,
I started my flight training in Morocco in February, clocked already more than 40 hours of which 15 solo, just passed with my instructor a checkride. The problem is that I am leaving Morocco now and the next theory exam will be in NOVEMBER 2008. Is it any way I can finish up the school and get the PPL in Europe without scrapping all my flight hours and starting over?
I have got a pilot flight logs with all stamps from local aviation authority and instructor/airclub.

Conversion to JAA PPL
Hello again.
I have finished my course, passed my theory exams, passed the checkride (in January) still waiting for my paper (they are out of stock of forms).
The fun was great, done most of it in a C150, later I have trained in a C172 with constant speed propeller, got also complex endorsement.
Question: With the license I got it looks that I can fly (alomost) anywhere with a moroccan registered plane. That would be tough to find.
Found out to my surprise (not done homeworks properly) that to convert the paper to a JAA paper I need 100 hours PIC.
I am no longer in Morocco and it doesn't looks I will get these hours there so:
1. should I re-do all PPL training in other country? France, UK?
2. What will happen to my already clocked hours (properly logged with all stamps)?
3. what will happen with my moroccan license? should I keep it for when flying in Morocco, frame it on my office wall as a souvenir?
Thanks for any help!

With any ICAO PPL, you can fly a G-reg plane, VFR, noncommercial, worldwide (ref: ANO article 26). No validation required.
Having just come back from Morocco, I am amazed you managed to survive as long as you did in that god forsaken hellhole Still, I guess there must be people who like that food

When did you get back IO, I have been in Morocco on and off for the last 10 days working and did not see your TB20.
I don't think it is quite the hell hole you make out, I quite liked the area personally. Perhaps I do not have the same exacting standards as you!

Going for CPL
to pass your checkride with just 40 hours
you can fly a G-reg plane
It looks tempting however to redo PPL in an accelerated way since I can already drive the machine.
So important is still how many of the hours I can recover?

Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech and Agadir have enough good restaurants.
