Only in the EU could a proficiency certificate in the English language
expire! What do they think has happened - maybe you forgot how to talk
English.
What an absolute nonsense it all is.

Subject: Europa-List: Certificate of English Language proficiency
<robert.hitchcock@virgin.net>
Hi
Have just received my certificate of proficiency in the English language
level 6. !
Just a reminder to everyone in the UK who is currently converting their
licence to the the new pan European licence. Our now expired proficiency in
English was granted some years ago at the beginning of the new language
assessment scheme as an automatic "gift" to all native Englishmen. Under
the new euro rules we have to demonstrate our ability to speak English. Do
not ignore this need. It an absolute requirement to have a valid certificate
when applying for the new EASA licence. You can obtain a certificate
following a successful Flight test (remember to ask) or RT test, or
accredited Language school or CAA approved circumstance.
Will send off the paperwork tonight. All being well should then get a shiny
new Euro licence. That ought to let me fly EASA and non - EASA annex ii
aircraft like the Europa.
Of course we can fly the Europa on the new LAPL as well, but for the me the
EASA has more privileges and costs much less. But the rate varies
significantly dependant on each individual case. There are pro and cons to
EASA and LAPL licence variants
Anyone else applied for the new licence yet? Any other known hassles?
Regards
Bob
