From 1 January 2023, the UK can no longer recognise EASA-issued licences.
Once again: an EASA licence has never existed. All international licences, including those of the UK and all the other 27 EU member states, have been issued first nationally in accordance with ICAO and only second in accordance with EASA. Now that the UK has resigned from EASA all UK international licences simply remain in accordance with ICAO. The EASA reference on the cover of a UK licence has no meaning and should be ignored. Should the licence require a reissue in the future the references to the EU and EASA are simply omitted. All new licenses will not refer to the EU or EASA. The above quoted statement is simply wrong

Pilots are required to hold a UK licence to fly G-Reg aircraft in the UK.
Do they really mean 'G-Reg aircraft in the UK'. surely anywhere in the world is correct. The wording should be simply; 'G-Reg aircraft'
