Has anyone had any success recently changing an address on an NPPL please? I currently hold both a PPL(A) and an NPPL, but the CAA portal suggests it will only accept Part-FCL licences.
It even rather scarily says on the CAA website that "If you have not already converted your pilot licence to an EASA licence, then updating your licence will mean that it will be compulsorily converted to an EASA licence and a conversion fee will be charged. "
Last time it was so much simpler... I just bunged in a paper change of address form when I upgraded the LAPL to a PPL, along with a certified copy of the NPPL , and they were all sorted out. This time I tried to do the same (when adding a TMG class rating to the PPL) but it's all gone electronic with no leniency for such shenanigans. So I sent in the class rating application and after a six week wait I now have a shiny new piece of paper with the wrong address on, and I'm still not sure how to sort them out!
