The Aviation Safety (AmendmentJ Regulations 2021 provide the authority to use a PMD made in accordance with ANO 163 with a Part FCL licence in Part 21 aircraft. Although the PMD declares it is valid for aircraft not exceeding 5700kg MTOM, the above regulation only allows one to exercise LAPL privileges in Part 21 aircraft. One can use most of the PPL privileges in a non Part 21 aircraft as they are subject to ANO Regulation.
