Hi,

The more I look the more I’m getting myself confused, can someone point me in the right direction on what actually my old PPLA CAA licence is still valid or good for?

I do have a EASA licence, (out of medical currency at the moment, just due to not rebooking yet) but still have my old UK issued lifetime licence.

Cheers
Mike

Are any ratings in the old one valid?
As for the new one, you might want to read exemption 1260 https://publicapps.caa.co.uk/modalappli ... il&id=8332 and see if it is all you need.

Just for nostalgia, the even older brown one. All I need to revalidate it is an Examiner with current authorisation from the Board of Trade Should I ask that nice Dr Fox ?

[Irv Lee]

How much was issue? "Seventeen and eleven"?

[kanga]

.. I can't even remember! It didn't seem like much after paying for the last spate of lessons and the gft. But yes, it was predecimal. I do remember the landing fees on my qxc: 7/6 at Ipswich but an extortionate 10/6 at Biggin Hill, for a C150

HI - thanks for the link etc,
is the Old Brown CAA licence Part-FCL? then if not the exemption is not valid for that licence to fly on.

I have i my mind that the PPL(A) is ICAO compliant, but its not a part-FCL (confused)

No, it's not part FCL. No, the exemption is not valid for it. It doesn't need to be. The medical declaration is *for* a UK licence. The exemption is for using a medical declaration with a part FCL (EASA) licence.

I can’t remember, can a poo brown still be used with a med dec for EASA aircraft or only annex2?

Yes it can, and I am. At least until next April.

[Tall_Guy_In_a_PA28]

ORS4 1269 applies.

The limitation is LAPL privileges and UK only.

[Irv Lee]

I have recently renewed an SEP in an old pre 2000 issue UK licence even though the guy had a LAPL(A). Much less hassle for the flying he planned to do in future.

Looking back. Why did we ever embark on this.

I had a guy on Saturday with 3 different licences. One of the ratings on one of the licences was current. And out of sheer fortune it was the aircraft type he was flying.

Just think if we had simply kept the UK PPL. If you want to go abroad get a class 2 medical. If not a med Dec for UK only.

So easy

[johnm]

All of the complexity is to allow as many people as possible to fly. If we wanted to keep it simple we could just have EASA PPL and Class 2 Med.

[JAFO]

But, johnm, surely you'd be allowing just as many people to fly, and more simply, if we could adopt Bathman's system. Here's your Private Pilot's Licence, if you want to fly in the UK tick here to say you're fit, if you want to fly elsewhere then they need you to have a medical with an AME.

In fact, that would leave more people flying because I know of people who have given up in the last few years simply because it was all too difficult and they couldn't see how they would carry on. Even now, as we get more used to the situation, it can still be confusing and we are constantly told the world will change next April, no June, no November, okay the April after that.
