Gaining a UK and EASA CPL at the same time?
I am planning on doing a SE IR and CPL next year to 'lock in' my ATPL exams while I wait for the aviation job market to pick up again.
I have a UK National PPL and an EASA PPL which I am SOLIing to IAA. Since many UK ATOs are seeking approval to continue to deliver EASA training once the UK is out of EASA, is it feasible that by using a school approved to deliver both EASA and UK CAA commercial training, I could do a single CPL course and get both a EASA CPL and UK issued CPL at the end?
Furthermore if the CPL examiner is approved for both EASA and UK tests, could I even get away with a single skills test for the two licences?
I recognise I would still have to pay two licence fees but having both an EASA and UK CPL would be worth as it would increase my employment options.
