Reader's Question - Conversion of South African CPL to EASA

I am a pilot and, having moved to France to live with my wife, I am looking to convert my South African CPL (A) to an EASA one (at this stage I am not too fussed about it being done in France itself, as I have not found any compelling reason to put up the considerable costs if this can be done somewhere else for less money).

I have not been very successful in finding much information on how to do so - only that I need to re-take the theoretical examinations and have an EASA class 1 medical.

I would be very much grateful if you could point me towards any of your members, participants or resources on how I can get to flying in France.

Any and every help you can provide would be extremely welcome and appreciated.

With thanks (and wishing you good luck in these trying times),

Reader's Question - Airfield For Sale

Hello, we are selling an airfield with 2 houses and 2 small hangars near Deauville, Normandy.

Our father was a pilot and light aircraft instructor.

I think he would have loved a pilot to buy his property, he flew until the age of 80 but passed away this winter aged 87.

Do you know where we can advertise this?

Thank you!
