EASA ATPL to UK ATPL after 31st Dec 2022
Hello everyone,
I used to hold a UK CPL and SOLI'd out to an EASA member state as I operate on a large bizjet for an EU operator. I have since upgraded to an EASA ATPL as well. Have the option to regain my UK licence (only at cpl level due to CAA regs) before the end of this year. However, I would not be able to keep my rating valid on a UK licence as the sim rates are eye watering on this particular aircraft type.
Assuming I keep my UK medical going each year in parallel to my EASA one, does anyone know what the arrangements would be to regain a UK professional licence post the EU/UK transition date? My big concern being the ATPL theory which i sat at Gatwick in 2007/2008 under JAR.
My thinking was, that should I need to return to the uk job market, I could then start the process. I can't seem to find anything on the CAA website as to whether previous UK atpl theory holders would be exempt from having to redo them.
Many thanks
