How can a military licence be converted to a civilian one?
Answer
The EU rules for recognising military licences can be found in Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 on Aircrew. Article 10 states that the knowledge, experience and skill gained in military service shall be credited towards the relevant requirements of Part-FCL in accordance with the principles of a credit report established by the competent authority of the Member State where a pilot served, in consultation with the Agency.
Therefore, the competent authority of the Member State where the pilot served should be contacted and asked for the provisions applicable for such credits.
