Hi Les,
I hope you are able to help me out. I have just begun training on a three axis in the uk. However, I regularly travel to the South of France, where my partner is from. We intend to move back there in a year or so. As I will also be looking for a career change I had the strange notion of combining my newly rediscovered love of flying with a career. So, what are my questions? Well, the questions I was hoping you could help answer are:
What qualifications or tests would I need to undertake if I wanted to be able to become a ULM instructor in France? What qualifications would be required, such as time I have held a PPL etc. Also, is it necessary for all tests to be completed in French?
If I was to restart my three axis training in france, as I have not done many lessons yet, what licence would I receive and could I fly in the uk on this? I could arrange an intense training course to achieve this pretty quickly at one of the French ULM centres, recommendations appreciated (the closer to Marseille the better).
Are there any peculiarities in teaching ULMs in France that I would not be aware of? I ask this as it seems there are often strange rules connected with trades that do not exist in the uk, like teachers not being allowed a second job outside of education!
If there is a need for clarification of anything I will be happy to elaborate.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
