Two countries divided by a common language, Dave. Actually, in thgis
context 'competent' doesn't mean they know what they are doing, it's Euro bureaucrat speak for an official body - not one that knows what they are talking about.

EASA licence and insurance
My experience has been as follows:
In Australia, my US license was not valid to fly an Australian registered powered aircraft. I was told that I could fly a US registered aircraft (if I could find one) or take a written test on Australian rules and a check ride to get an Australian license. No license was required to fly a glider. After being signed off by a GFA instructor, I was allowed to carry passengers in an Australian registered glider. When I bought my Stemme in Mexico, I was not allowed to fly it as pilot in command within Mexico with my US license and had to hire a Mexican pilot to get me across the border. After that, I was legal in the US to fly the Mexican registered aircraft until I was able to get it registered in the US.

Have witnessed the same with CAA in South Africa. But it took me two days from application to being handed a printed CASA (Australian) PPL-A based on FAA stuff. For gliders, it is even easier. Imagine the EASA to FAA route would have similarly varied sets of results. Jim |

EASA licence and insurance
After some superb help from the folk on this and the UK uras forum, plus a
load of help off-forum, I've followed the British Gliding Association (BGA) verification route instead of the EASA licence and it all seems to be coming together. I do struggle to understand the value of holding an EASA SPL, but the value of these forums (when used for good) is huge. The FAA have been truly awesome. Their compliance specialists and foreign-verification team have been responsive, speedy, helpful and patient with my phonecalls. Would that I could say the same about the UK CAA! Hopefully I'll have the right papers early next week (thanks also to a quick turnaround from Lizzie at the BGA). I'm grateful to everyone who's chipped in on the topic. The list is long but particularly Paul Jessop in the UK (Charlie's Dad), Uncle Hank, Franklin Burbank at Citrus Soaring, and most especially Andrew Ainslie. All very, very much appreciated. Anyone who wants some advice and tips on the path I've followed please feel free to send me a private message and I'll be delighted to explain/help. Jon |
