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.
5) I...

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...

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,...

An Air Cadet former instructor colleague (I've retired from Cadets, he hasn't!)

Hi,

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I can't find it.

I have a current ATPL and MPA type rating but I'm looking at getting back into some GA flying.

My SEP and IMC expired 20 months ago, and as the title suggests, can anyone advise...

The Netherlands authorities have this week updated their regulation of ELTs and PLBs via AIC-B 01/2017 (replacing AIC-B 04/2016), to replace National Law with EU Regulation No 965/2012 and its amendments which specifically allows the carriage of...

Has anyone used this very recently? I am planning to go down tomorrow but can't get there sensibly before 10.30 am. I want to get my old UK PPL upgraded to an EASA licence, with SEP rating and RT added. Assuming all my paperwork is correct is there...

I note my EASA medical issued last year and valid for 1 year also has a 2 year validity for LAPL

In light of this Im considering converting my EASA Part.Fcl PPL to a LAPL. I know similar was possible with NPPL but cant find any guidance on this...

Hi everyone, I have a UK FRTO issued in 2006 but expired in 2016. I'm a US based FAA pilot and really do not have use for it. However, i would like to keep a current UK FRTOL .
What are my options.?

My IR(R) ran out a few years ago and it is on the back of my EASA PPL. I am about to renew it. Does anyone know what forms I need to fill in for the CAA to put it on the front of my licence.

Jenny

I wonder if anyone can shed any light on this please?

I started on a LAPL course at my local flying club in early January and am about 9 hours instruction time into the course. I should be starting circuits in the next couple of lessons and already...

Our group Warrior has Day/VFR certification in its POH. This seems a bit bizarre seeing as it has the required kit to allow IFR and night flying.
I think(?) I remember seeing some other Warriors that had night/IFR in the POH...??

Is there a way to...

I obtained my UK CAA PPL in 1996 and having not flown for a few years decided to start flying again.
I have been to my local flight school, undertook some training and passed my skills test last Friday.
The examiner signed the...

Hi there - I have an NPPL(M) and have recently started a job which means I will be spending up to 4 months of the year in South Africa for the next five years. I have learned that my NPPL cannot be used in South Africa. I was then thinking of...

Recently sent an application off to the CAA to change my address on my EASA PPL- filled the form out with my old address and then the new address and the necessary evidence!

Notified today by my mother, that a new licence had arrived at her house (...

I was idly reading SI2017/02 as recently published by the CAA when I spotted that is notification that SERA is being implemented in CAP493 (aka MATS Part 1) with effect from 24th April 2017. In particular, the wording of Section 2, Chapter 1, para...

Simple question really that will probably turn out to be anything but simple...... A forum search (not extensive, I admit) didn't throw up that much.

So... what is an owner operator of an EASA aircraft allowed to do maintenance wise?

At one end of...

I have been asked to ferry a Swiss registered light aircraft from Switzerland to UK. Can I fly it on my EASA or FAA licence, as Switzerland not in EU??

Hi

I have a UK CAA JAR –FCL Private Pilot Licence issued April 2003, expired April 2008 with SEP (Land) rating with c. 80 hours total time mainly on Cessna 150 and 152.

Good afternoon everyone,

This is my first post on this forum :)

I am preparing my FI exam which is coming very soon and I am trying to work out 2 things regarding the structures (annexes, part,etc):

Hi

I currently hold an EASA PPL(A) with microlight difference training signed off in my log book. I fly very few hours in 'group A' aircraft. I have two months to run before the second year of the revalidation period expires with only around 3...

Hi all,

Apologies (I'm a Newbie!) if this has already been brought up elsewhere.

I'm about to start training and am planning on getting the NPPL first and build up experience (and see if I have a need for anything beyond that). I believe that...

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...

Hello Everyone,

I have my class 1 initial medical test in 2 weeks time and I tried a few Ishahara test's online and I can get about 12-14/15. I am not colour blind, never been and can see all colours perfectly fine.

I know you need to get all the...

I am just about to convert to an EASA PPL, as JAR expires shortly. I will use the CAA Gatwick counter service as I'm told it takes many weeks for postal applications.
I will have all my licences logbooks with me, therefore I presume an ATO person...

Hi All,

I am a bit confuse when filling out SRG 1104 online form, my NPPL (SSEA) was an additional rating from my NPPL (M).

Do I include my microlight hours when answering following questions?

Enter your flying experience as Pilot In Command on...

Hi All,

It's been 2 months since I received my PPL through the post from the CAA, and 2 months since I last flew solo from my local club (where I trained).

The club has a rule (I expect many do), that if I don't fly for more 30 days, then in...

Early Feb I applied to the CAA to regrade my EASA Part-FCL to an LAPL, primarily because I'm sick to death of playing the 'find and chase an AME' game every year as for the past 3 now, each time I've contacted my AME for my Class 2 renewal I'm told...

I am hitting a brick wall with the CAA regarding renewing my almost 5 year old JAA licence due to me not having a proficiency level recorded on my FRTOL…

I almost feel like ripping up my licence – as I spend more time and money with bureaucracy...

Drawn a blank searching (probably using wrong terminology) so who can act as check pilot on a LAA Permit to Fly aircraft is there a set criteria?

Hi All,

I have an NPPL (SSEA) licence which I got from converting from NPPL (M). I am planning to do direct "upgrade" to EASA PPL so I can do Night and (hopefully) CBM IR rating later.

It seems I just need to do 6 hours dual + 4 hours...

I see the SEP CRI privileged needs 300 hours for which the course hours itself (which are a few in an airplane) can count to that.

A friend of mine is interested in obtaining this rating, but has 275 hours in an airplane but around 20 hours in...

TMG ? Is there any advantage in having a TMG rating on my EASA CPL in addition to my SEP (land) rating ?
No problem with flying a TMG as is included on my EASA SPL along with Self Launch /powered sailplanes.
On a recent visit to the CAA when...

Hello folks!

I'm looking to buy an aircraft. There's just a few things I can't find any info on:
1. Say if I buy an aircraft in EASA state A. and I live in EASA state B., can I keep the aircraft on state A. register, and have the aircraft based...

Hi (cross posted from Euroga).

For the usual boring reasons when you get old, I need to resurrect my NPPL.
I’ve managed to find pages 3 and 4 of my old licence, but cannot find the other 2 pages.
Any one any idea how I go about getting a replacement?

Hi all

Been away for a while due to ill health but now ready to get back up in the air again. So whilst I'm recovering from a major operation I thought I'd sort out one or two licensing issues such as my FROL.

It was first issued on 16/09/2004 so...

Assuming I would want to (not sure why at the moment?), given that I don't own a permit SSEA aircraft, how would I keep the NPPL SSEA current ?
I own & fly a microlight, and currently cross the hours between the micro and rented PA28, with an...

Hi all,

Just a quick question with regards to obtaining an SEP rating under part-FCL/UK CAA.

I have a CPL + MEIR.

MEP rated but no SEP rating.

I am interested in obtaining an SEP rating in order to fly for fun when I'm not flying for work.

With the changes due on 8th April, 2018, have flying schools and other organisations been forthcoming with options for aircraft rental to NPPL licence holders after this time?

It is my very limited understanding that permit aircraft cannot be...

My IR expired a couple of months ago so I've had to undergo a training course as part of the renewal process. I'm now the proud holder of a Course completion certificate, and thus ready to undertake the test flight. However a lengthy (several weeks)...

Hello all.

I do hope someone can help me.

I am 55 and am about to retire and I really want to get back in the air and start flying again. I got my ppl when I was 17 but had to give up when I was about 27 to raise my family and realise my life...

Is there any reason to keep a UK PPL after this date? Any benefit at all? I have EASA and medical but what would be achieved by going self medical on a UK PPL, it cannot be used on EASA aircraft right?

I have been trying to find the definitive date of the present derogation, whereby a "EASA land" domiciled pilot with FAA licence, has to have an equivalent EASA rating to fly N reg aircraft Europe. Can't find anything on CAA or EASA...
