Hi
Anybody have the link to the relevant LASORS section which covers this please...or are able to simplify exactly what the conversion process is.
I have an ICAO CPL licence and MEIR - issued in New Zealand. 350hrs TT
I've been told that the licence automatically equates to a UK PPL, restricted to national daytime flights only, and that all I'd have to do is just get a check out from the local aero club. However I'd like to be able to fly a bit further afield and by night too.
My understanding is that on completion of a skills test with an examiner in the UK, this licence would be 'upgraded' to a full unrestricted PPL - without the need for any additional exams to be taken.
Is that about right? And if it is do I need to fill out/send off any forms?
Any info much appreciated.
Thanks
