Perhaps the fact that there are currently no "UK licences", only UK-issued EASA licences...
The CAA's planning assumptions for a "non-negotiated EU exit" are here:
https://www.caa.co.uk/our-work/about-us/eu-exit/ and include:
- There is no mutual recognition agreement between the EU and the UK for aviation licences, approvals and certificates.
- UK issued licences and approvals (issued when the UK was an EASA member) will continue to have validity under UK law but will no longer be recognised by EASA for use on EASA Member State-registered aircraft.
Of course there may still be a negotiated exit deal, despite current efforts by a bunch of politicians to force a "No Deal" exit.
