IFR RT exam - recognition between EASA countries

I had a UK EASA-licence and moved it to CH because of uncertainties around Brexit. Having asked the Swiss CAA (FOCA / BAZL) they told me that they can (will) only accept an RT-licence which is listed in an EASA-licence.
I.e. doing the German AZF and then putting it onto my Swiss licence they said it will get refused. Their argument was that RT-licences are based on local regulations and not on EASA. So looks like bureaucracy… Not sure if they have changed that approach.
Doing the LP abroad is something else – it seems this can be done abroad.

It should work across EASA countries, but worth checking in a country that has both IFR RT+ELP & VFR RT+ELP practicals?

Not sure if doing UK FRTOL under EASA ATO in UK would work? it could be viewed as “VFR only” elsewhere but I am sure you can win that battle but anything you do with CAA ATO in UK will not be accepted by EASA NAA…

Check with FOCA, I know someone with Swiss PPL who got a confirmation that he can do an “IR test in UK airspace” with an IAA ATO and it will be accepted

Hello,

I’ve got a Swiss PPL license, but I live in the UK. I am working on getting CB-IR (just theory so far). Switzerland requires applicants for IR to pass an IFR radiotelephony exam, but I wonder if I can take this exam in another EASA country (in the same way as it works for English proficiency nowadays).
