LastStandards, don't be so quick. Currently the UK CAA is constrained by the EASA contract. If we are no longer a member of EASA then the CAA will not be constrained other than by the ICAO regulations. The UK CAA have said that those organisations who hold an EASA approval and those individuals who have commenced EASA compliant courses may: continue until their approvals expire and Individuals will have two years from 1st January 2021 to complete their training. However, the CAA will then issue ICAO compliant licences. The EASA have not yet stated, to my knowledge, that they will recognise the EASA compliant training taking place post 31st December.
Remember also that there is no such thing as an EASA aircraft. There are only aircraft that are recognised by EASA and the member NAAs by extension so subject to its rules. It will be a simple matter, should it be required, after this year, for the UK CAA to issue exemptions or whatever bit of paper that is necessary. to once again validate UK PPLs.as internationally ICAO complient- I don't mean NPPLs which are a different licence. LAPLs are pretty much identical to the NPPL but pose a different problem. The LAPL provides international privileges (within the EU) that the NPPL doesn't. For EASA not to recognise the licenses that were issued in accordance with their regulations will be appalling. The EASA should not only continue to recognise the compliant licenses designed and demanded by them but also they should provide for the maintenance for continuing compliance.
UK PPLs, CPLs and ATPLs should once again have worldwide recognition.
