My PPL(A) was issued in 1998, and is an old CAA lifetime one. My CPL(H) was issued in 2001, and is a JAA licence. I moved house in January this year, told the CAA, and received the relevant new pages for each. I didn't have to send the licences back, and in both cases nothing else changed.
But here's something interesting that I only just noticed. They sent me a new radio telephony licence page, with my new address. This expires in 2011. but I just noticed that I still have an old RT licence page in my PPL(A), which is valid for life. It still has my old address on it. Maybe I'm not supposed to have two RT licences.
But, if I don't renew the JAA one in 2011, is the old one still valid, I wonder.
