An Australian PPL meets the pre-requisite for starting a modular CPL training course. The UK and many EASA member states offer a foreign licence validation which is valid in non-commercial operations on any of 28 days in a calendar year. This validation requires one or more acclimatisation flights with an instructor, but it does not require a skill test, written exams, or UK/EASA medical certificate. Details in art 8(3) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/723. Therefore, conversion to a UK/EASA PPL may be unnecessary.
