Current NPPL SEP - Lapsed CAA Group A
Here's a good one and having looked through Lasors I can't find the answer.
I have an old CAA Group A Licence, it is expired for more than eleven years. Just prior to it expiring for ten years I revalidated the licence to NPPL SEP. Since then (and with great thanks to the CAA) I have got my Class 2 medical back and would like to get my CAA Group A revalidated.
What will be easiest revalidating after eleven years and basically have to jump through hoops again written exams etc etc or is there a route to revalidate the expired CAA licence with my current NPPL?
In case you are wondering why I want to do this, it has nothing to do with flying abroad - more to do with rationalising my licences - I have a current CAA Group A lapsed licence which does have a current microlight rating and an NPPL SEP. It makes sense to have a current CAA Group A which allows me to fly microlights anyway and dispense with the NPPL.
(Before anyone mentions the easier medical - forget it. I was a victim of the NPPL medical, not a beneficiary - but I have now got the Class 2 medical back)
Thanks
