1s class in UK : only in gatwick?
 

Hello

I looked on he CAA website to find a place to do my 1s class(1s time) and they only give Gatwick....??

is it normal?? do you know other place where it can be done?
thank you

Only Gatwick for the Class 1 Initial. And then a registered AMC or AME there after.

Here's one I can't find a definite answer to that mey be pertinent since Angel is in FL: If someone holds an ICAO First Class (such as FAA), can they get a CAA First Class at an AME instead of the full Initial at Gatwick?

I've heard that this is the case a few times, but can't find any official word on it.

I ve read somewhere that is s not possible...

just to "renew" your 1s class, some are able to do that in the US but not for the first time!

And so obviously I dont have other choice than to go at Gatwick !!!;)

does someone how much it is ? and what they are doing really?

thank you

THe UK CAA upto last year did do an "extended" renewal if you had an ICAO class 1. I think that this could only be done at Gawick though as it was only really an initail minus a few points. It does not exist anymore however and an FAA class 1 medical is no more use to you than a peice of toilet paper as far as the UK CAA go.

Hope you can get sorted soon and this answers your questions.
