4 or 5 years ago I looked at training with UKFT in Long Beach but was thankfully put off by the many negative posts on here (do a search) and also a conversation I had with Ajay who runs it that made...

Try getting the CAA to confirm that though! Unfortunately I need it in writing from them for the syndicate I want to join (and their insurers). It would also be nice to have it for my own peace of...

Absolutely. Unfortunately the lady from the CAA just kept on repeating that this was nothing to do with the UK and any reference would have to come from the specific countries I wanted to fly in.

Yup, I agree that is a worry. Looking over my emails it seems that the examiner may not actually be in the syndicate, just a friend of the CFI. If that's the case I would have less reservations.

Because, unlike the FAA, the CAA (via the ANO) automatically validates all ICAO PPL holders to fly G-reg planes, that's why.

This is borne out by the fact that the CAA aren't denying I can fly in...

FAA in G-Reg abroad. Worrying development.

So here's the situation.

I have an FAA PPL and am trying to join a syndicate in the UK. My understanding (and that of a lot of others here and on Flyer) is that I am automatically validated by...

I'm 6 ft, but pretty broad shouldered. A Mooney Acclaim feels very cramped with two people whereas flying in an SR22 (or 20) feels very roomy and comfortable. Equally well I love the DA40 but again...
