JAA & CAA CPL
I thought until recently that the CAA exams had completely ceased. Recently I saw posts from Whirlybird that she was still doing them. That raises a few questions from me
1. What is the cut off date for these and if I haven't started am I already too late
2. If I have a JAR PPL(H) does that automatically rule me out of the CAA exams
3. What is going to happen later when the CAA exams have finished - will holders of the CPL(H) be allowed to transfer
4. If you have CPL(H) exams I assume you will have to do the CAA CPL(H) flight tests - is there a cut off for these as well
Does anyone think there is an advantage to biting to bullet and just going for the JAR stuff and having done with it. I know they take a lot longer and are more expensive etc but what will future hold for those with the CAA ones.

Dear Ravenx

whirlybird is doing the exams for the JAR CPL-H (restricted), see the CAA web site

>1. What is the cut off date for these and

31/12/01, and no you are not if you get on with it now
>2. If I have a JAR PPL(H) does that

no it doesnt, because as stated it is a JAR CPL-H you will be getting not a CAA one
3. What is going to happen later when the CAA exams have finished - will holders of the CPL(H) be allowed to transfer
nothing to transfer to, you will hold a JAR CPL and the restriction to UK aircraft will be removed when you forfill the criteria, see document on CAA web site
4. If you have CPL(H) exams I assume you will have to do the CAA CPL(H) flight tests - is there a cut off for these as well
no you do all the JAR flying as it is a JAR CPL

i would do the CAA exams while you can, the JAR ones are harder !
