JAA/EASA/JAR certifications

[mrsurrey]

Hi,

I think I'm correct to say that a flight school needs JAA and JAR certifications for training to be valid for EU and UK respectively. But please could you tell me what EASA certification is required for?

In the shortest way possible; EASA is the new JAA.

but with much more bureaucracy!!

And less common sense, if that were possible

Thanks, does that mean an ATPL course advertised as "JAA ATPL" is just as useful as an ATPL course advertised as "EASA ATPL"?

Yes, it does - the guys probably just haven't got round to changing it.
