Can anyone point me to the official words which give the answer, one way or another?

TIA

Hello,

My first post in the forum, found some answers via search but they are bit outdated.

I have a CCA-issued Part-FCL PPL-A with valid SEP rating, can I fly a FALKE touring motor glider ?

I am looking for VFR flying in UK airspace only before...

How is possible to have a TMG in Class/ Type /IR section of Ratings previously held by holder ?

Well,

Am in MerryKay - La Vegas - getting hitched in a couple of weeks.

I have been speaking to Cactus Aviation out there lining up a Grand canyon trip as PuT which got me thinking about ticking off an FAA conversion license.

Hi all.

A search brought up no obvious answers, but can an EASA PPL holder add a rating from a non-EASA ICAO country to their ICAO licence? eg taildragger, mountain flying, complex, or night VFR?

Many thanks.

I hold an EASA ATPL, no valid SEP.
I also have a stand alone FAA PPL which I renewed last month. I'm trying to work out the most efficient method to fly in the UK on G reg.

There are 2 options : I can get a 'permission slip' from the CAA to fly G...

Hoping someone may be able to answer this - is it possible to do EASA differences training on an N Registered aircraft? In other words, is there any rule that differences training for purpose of an EASA licence has to take place in an EASA aircraft?

Does anyone know what the situation was back in 87, did you get an RT licence for life?

My UK licence form 1996 came with a separate page for the FRTOL, but my friend, whose was issued in 87, says he does not have that page.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for yet another thread on licenses etc. I'm somewhat the wiser from the other 10 page thread but still a bit unsure so apologies. :?

A huge oversight on my part, but my ppl sep rating was renewed two years ago and expires at the end of this month. I have done the requisite 12 hours and 1 hour with an instructor in the last 12 months to renew my rating, only to discover that my...

Hi
I believe that there is currently an upgrade path from a NPPL(M) to EASA PPL(A) which consists of extra training to obtain a NPPL (SSEP) then a paperwork exercise to gain a LAPPL Then further training to get a EASA PPL(A)
However I believe the...

I would appreciate any help please.

I've been searching for information about this everywhere and I'm afraid it's still clear as mud. Can anyone tell me what I need to do when buying and re-registering and aircraft that has a permanent EASA permit? I heard that there is a pretty hefty...

Back in 2003 I finished up the ATPL TK exams this gave me a CPL, I went on to get an FI rating. However I only fly private now and for the last few years have had a PPL as I haven't had a Class 1 medical.

Is my CPL still there can I get it back by...

Morning all.

Small question about licences.

I understand that in the UK, you need to have a NPPL(m) to fly a microlight.

In France, there is a specific "Microlight Licence" which is issued by your instructor as soon as he/she feels...

Hi

My last Class 2 medical expired in 2007.

I was thinking of renewing my Class 2 medical to then revalidate my old JAR FCL CAA PPL licence (SEP rating). However unfortunately I have recently suffered moderate hearing loss (50db at certain...

Hello

has anyone else had an issue due to past medical info being incomplete in their GP records?

I'm a PPL student, just for fun no intention to make flying part of a career, so I need a Class 2 certificate. I declared at my medical the fact that...

A friend of mine has passed all his TK exams but business got in the way and we didn't complete the flying - for a LAPL. He'd also taken quite a time to get to that point - started in late 2014 and took the final TK exam in Jun 2016.

He'asked his...

Hi

I wondered if anyone could definitely answer the following question. Following days of research of ANO and other documents I cannot find an answer in black and white.

I have the opportunity to fly a friends Europa XS (Permit aircraft) in...

What's the latest on this? I understand EASA is looking at the possibility of GNSS approaches at airfields with no ATC (perhaps an AFISO service), indeed Barra already has such an approach.

I was wondering if the hour and a half I did in New York with a Swiss instructor, logged and signed off as P/UT, can be counted as the instructional hour for my LAPL 24 month validation, or does it have to be a UK/ EASA instructor?

I hold a lifetime UK brown PPL with SEP rating revalidated a couple of months ago. I am flying under LAPL privileges until I convert to EASA.

My class 2 expired for EASA on my 51st birthday last month, but is valid for LAPL until March 2018....

Hi all (notably Irv and Cookie...)

Was wondering if someone could shed some light on this for me. I'm waiting for my NPPL(SSEA) to EASA LAPL conversion to arrive in the post. After it arrives I'm planning on upgrading to the full EASA PPL.

According to the CAA:

Hi everyone,

I sent off my licence application by post a few weeks ago, and I reckon it should have arrived with the CAA around the 20th May. I've been watching my bank balance, expecting the fee to be deducted when they start processing it but...

I saw some notification of an EASA decision published... I think this is the one that might include a test in place of recency, anyone confirm?

Hello! I got my PPL when I was living in the UK in 2009. I now live in Canada and have a valid Canadian pilot's license based on my UK license. In order to renew my Canadian license next year I need to renew my UK PPL which expired in 2014. I've...

Hi
I have a JAR PPL which expires in September. I'm not up to date on the alphabet soup of licences available to me to replace it.

What do SSDR Flight Hours count as? Microlight? Gp A?

Will they count towards a CPL?

I am part tempted to buy one just for some fun evening flying but I since my eventual goal is to get an ATPL, I am concerned that the hours won't count towards a...

Hi all,
I am looking for some advice on a CAA medical issue (Class 2)
When attending the medical I was very honest about an unusual neurological condition that I have and is managed by medication. The AME doctor didn't know anything about it so...

Here's my situation:

1) I have a UK PPL (pre-JAA) SEP license issued in 1998 with no additional ratings.
2) I haven't flown for 10 years.
3) My class 2 medical has long since expired.
4) I now want to fly again, but only on 3-axis microlights.

Not sure if this should be in the GA or Non-Av General Election thread, but:

If this happens, perhaps in a fit of nostalgia after Brexit the BoT could take back (from or incorporating CAA) control of civil air regulation (FCL, ARB, ATLB ..) .. :)

I currently have a UK CAA PPL (A) showing a previous address and am thinking of changing to an EASA licence when I update my address.
1. Am I correct in thinking the EASA licence I now need is a "EASA part FCL PPL (A)?
2. If I go to Gatwick...

Does anyone know if the NPPL(H) mirrors the LAPL(H) with regard to revals?

If you don't know the answer perhaps you know where it could be found. It is not in CAP 804 which would be the logical place.

I have asked around the heli community and...

Does anyone know if there is a list of what can be done 'whilst you wait' or what cannot? I am specifically thinking of an initial EASA PPL issue based on an ICAO conversion, not an initial full 45+ hour course.

I haven't heard any. Last time there were rumours for ages and the deed was done with very little time left. Does the collapse of the prospective USA-EU trade deal last year mean they will not consider moving the date???
So, if there is no movement,...
