Hi Peter, no cert A requested. They require insurance, I know of the BMFA (but am not a member as I have been living in the US) but I don't know if they would recognize it. I turned up on the Saturday and they simply joined the Spanish equivelent for me - I paid E36 and they did it all for me. I then turned up the next day and met with the 'president' of the club who suggested that as I am only here for two months that I make a 'donation' to the club of E20 a month and I could then fly. If I was staying for a longer period of time I think they would rather I joined the club, which I would agree with. If I remember membership is E95 per year. A very friendly bunch, lots of whom are British.
