I learned to fly in the UK and have a CAA PPL, but let it expire after moving to the USA.
Am current with an FAA private license, and have a Class 3 medical.
I will be in the UK in July & August this summer and would like to do some private flying in a rented G registered plane. Am trying to figure out the best way to accomplish this.
I found this on the CAA website
https://www.caa.co.uk/Commercial-ind...n-UK-airspace/
Can anyone confirm that this is in fact the process I am supposed to follow? It's almost unbelievably onerous, almost purpose designed so that no one will actually go through with it.
I am wondering if it would be easier to revalidate my old (brown wallet) CAA PPL. Does anyone know what I would need to do to make that happen? I am completely out of touch with all the twists and turns that have been happening.
