Sadly not, for a while to come at any rate. The Statutory Instrument (2019/645, for those with much spare time) covering the aviation side of our withdrawal without formal agreement, as the CAA are briefing is now extremely likely, is written in such a way that it maintains parity with existing EASA methods. For example, licences currently split into EASA FCL and National will retain this split, but phrased as UK FCL and UK non-FCL (just a bit clumsy, but there it is). Aircraft currently split into EASA and non-EASA will be split into Part-21 and non-Part-21. A Part-21 aircraft will require a UK FCL licence, a non-Part-21 aircraft won't. Etc.
