British License in Italy ?

I was in Rieti a couple of months ago. They required
for me to get a Jar2 medical, and i had to apply for
the international glider pilots licence from the BGA
as the little green cardboard thing you get for soloing
is no good. But apart from that there was not much
else i had to do.

It's a shame there isn't more gliding activity in Italy
as their weather is a d4mn site better than the rubbish
we have to endure.

Oh well!

Hello !

I wonder if there are any peculiarities about flying
with a BGA License
in Italy. Have any British pilots got in any difficulty
?
I also have a JAR class 2 medical available.

Your medical might be useful, but probably no problems

Any recommendations about soaring in the greater area
around Napoli ?
I will be based at Pomigliano d' Arco for 7-8 months.

There's no gliding activity south of Rieti. That's
a pity, 'cause
soaring conditions are quite good.
There might be some towplanes very close to Napoli,
in Salerno -
Pontecagnano.
There's sporadic glider activity in Puglia (Lavello)
and Basilicata
(Grumento). With a little work I might be able to search
through my
friends for contacts
