I’ve read that quite a lot of people are changing SOLI for their EASA licence(s) from the UK to an alternative EU member state. Genuine question cos I don’t know (and no criticism of this procedure implied at all) - but what is the perceived benefit of doing this? I’m sure it’s not cheap to do and surely even with a worse case scenario regarding Brexit, UK licensed pilots will still be able to fly their UK registered aeroplanes?
I’m actually a bit worried the other way. Having had UK SOLI for many years, when EASA started I had to change to Dutch SOLI as I work for a Dutch airline. (Too complex for our company to handle the loophole where Dutch examiners could in theory sign UK licence ratings as there’s too many of us and them!). I’m concerned that with a worse case outcome, will I still be able to fly my own UK registered light aircraft on my Dutch issued EASA licence? (For belt and braces I still maintain my old original national UK PPL in case it all goes t*ts up EASA wise but that’s not the point...!)
