Under the new proposals what would be need to upgrade IR/R to SE IR
No exams valid I have:
Taken UK CAA CPL exams in past and thrashed through question bank to do JAA ATPL exams but never used other than to get my UK CPL to JAR CPL.
Easa CPL
IR/R
1200 hrs
80 IFR
I have an FI with the instrument privileges to teach IR/R but looking around the various forums it seems the ability to sit with IR holders for remedial training maybe useful as many of my ex students have gone on to get IRs and their own aircraft, I am looking to do some touring as I get older and kids are not costing me a fortune.

I think the French are far from perfect but so are the British judging from all your complaints about the CAA. All I read is the cost of examinations and the "must be CAA employed examiners" and the costs of a170 and ... and ...
The only positive seems to be the IMCr....
The FAA has certainly a much more pragmatic approach to things than EASA.
Alas ... we live in europe .. and allthough the EU and EASA brings us quiet a bit of limitations and extra burden ... it has also brought peace and prosperity to our region with far to many countries with each their own unique identity on a small area.
And frankly .. I rather enjoy the French wines.

The peace and tranquility is liable to go the way of the Russian empire thanks to the excessive expansion and the cock up over the Euro.
If Stalin and Roosevelt hadn't stitched Churchill up, Europe would have been absorbed into the British Empire in 1946, everyone would speak English and it would all work swimmingly

I think Europe was progressing quite nicely postwar until about 2000. The commies had been driven out, and standards of living were rising everywhere. With the US pulling out of its mediating role, the rise of the Euro and EU bureaucracy and centralized power, Euro-boosting propaganda preaching that leisure could replace work, plus German ambitions to use national economic and political power to crush industry elsewhere in the EU, things started to turn in my view. I think the potential of a single currency was buried under those factors. EASA is pretty much a microcosm of everything negative.
My wife the lovely Bavarian mostly agrees although she maintains that its really better for everybody if they use 100% German products, including Dornfelder Red with dinner.

The best VW /Audi's are those made by SEAT in Spain
My BMW X5 gives me so much grief - annoying electrical issues, telling me to check my fog lights every trip even though I know they are ok. I'd never buy another Beemer....
PS German Red?!

What I actually buy in new consumer durables is often Japanese, for the usual reasons.
German stuff ran out of steam in the early 90s, now they sell on image and buy out their EU competition with the money made. It's nonsense, but is setting them up nicely to profit from the EU as a client state, with the profits going home.
Bayern does seem to have a good soccer team.
