Hello @ all,
Do I need a valid SEP to start the multi engine course?
My ME course should start next week. But the SEP is expiered because the german caa dont accept a trainingsflight with an english flight instructor. (i have a german ppl(a).
Second question: i started the CPL course, but my SEP rating expiered 5 days after I began the CPL course, because of the same reason.
Can I finish the CPL?
The licence is valid till 2012, its only the SEP which is expiered.
Cheers Michael

moevy - is your PPL a German national one, or an LBA issued JAA one?
The LBA are more than happy to accept a flight test conducted by a "foreign" JAA examiner - so I don't understand why they would not accept the training flight.

Its a PPL(a) Jar-Fcl....
In germany the LBA dont administer PPL licences.
The goverment chairmenship of the countil where you live is administrating all PPL(a) licences....
The LBA only administer IR(a), CPL and type ratings.
On monday next week I will go to the chairmenship of my countil again. Maybe they accept it after talking several times...
If not i hope i can renew it with my cpl test. It it dont work, i have to do a ppl test with an german instructor.....
I know why i make my cpl in the uk...

if you are doing your training here are you getting the licence issued by the UK CAA as well?
if so, just forget about your PPL as you will get a blue book in the post anyway. im just not sure if you can use your german RT licence with your UK CPL thats all.

Rather interestingly, it is quite possible to hold a JAR-PPL with just an MEP rating on it, never having had the SEP rating.
On the other hand I do know a CPL who has never had an SEP rating, but he never held a PPL, coming from a Flight Engineer background (and Navy rotary before that)
