hi all
the UK CAA has just sent out a new ORSA today regarding holders of FAA licences as notated below, only problem is that it doesnt say that after this new information letter if one has to fill out some form of CAA form or infact which form, in the previous ORSA you had to fill out a form but now it seems that you dont as your exempt any one know what one has to do now ?


Exemption from the Requirement for Holders of FAA Pilot Licences with FAA Class 3 Medicals Exercising Private Licence Privileges to Comply with the Conversion and Validation Requirements of Annex III to Commission Regulation (EU) No. 1178/2011 as Amended
1) The Civil Aviation Authority (‘the CAA’), on behalf of the United Kingdom and pursuant to article 14(4) of Regulation (EC) No. 216/2008 exempts all holders of FAA pilot licences operating aircraft subject to Article 4(1)(b) or (c) of that Regulation from the requirements of Annex III (4)(d) to Commission Regulation (EU) No. 1178/2011, subject to the conditions stated at paragraph 2 and the terms stated at paragraph 3.
2) This exemption precludes the need for the holders of FAA certificates exercising private licence privileges to complete UK Part-FCL conversion or validation of their certificates in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) 1178/2011, Annex III, as above, subject to the conditions stated at Annex 1. These conditions reflect requirements that may apply in the UK following conclusion of the bi-lateral aviation safety agreement (BASA) currently under negotiation between the EU and USA.
3) This exemption is effective from the date of signature until 8 April 2019 or until superseded by any bilateral aviation safety agreement concluded between the EU and the USA in the interim, unless revoked prior.

What does this mean in plain English? (Genuine Q, not being flippant).

Looks like an exemption to me. The UK CAA has now reversed its policy for pilots resident in the UK, holding only FAA licences, who wish to continue to fly EASA aircraft in UK airspace.

What a surprise......all the more reason to get an FAA licence rather than EASA !!!!
Much simpler and cheaper and no need for pointless type ratings !!
