Switzerland is not part of the EU, as 77.3% of its
population sensibly voted not to join in a referendum
held in 2001. And that was before EASA was set up!
Maybe it will become the only European country where
one can actually fly gliders before too long. Do they
accept BGA gliding certificates and UK NPPL medicals?
If they do, I shall be going there for my holidays.
