Hi Gerry Whatever about the ELP, you do make a good point about the RT license requirement in the UK - I went through this system, where there was both a written and an oral exam .... and I actually do believe we should have an oral exam here in Ireland to ensure a reasonable level of competency on ...

Hi The schools in the US and France will come under the CAA (UK) in terms of license issue, at PPL level the exams are NOT transferrable so you will have to complete the exams under the CAA jurisdication - but it should be no problem - I found them much more straight forward then the IAA (admittedly...
