so its back to the CAA to get my licence updated yet again.............. to reflect what I should have, what a stupid system this is, Why the heck they did not just keep the engines separate as before it would have been soo much simpler, as for the UK stuff.......... it now means I hold 2 licences and do not know if I can legally do certain aircraft types etc......... it is a minefield when they keep changing their bloody minds as to types etc....................

Appears I can do over 250 ish plus whats on my UK licence but then I could before........ but as issued no two people are going to have the same even though they should have them the same.................................

Thats all metal Piston aircraft up to 5700kg with a couple of the types and all the Piston engines from DC7 down.......... single Turbine metal below 5700kg no Eng, Plastic planes Engines only and Balsa planes Engines only...........

Of note.. The CAA "New Technology" (but we were flying around in the Zeppelins of WW1) Diesel Engines are now included, you no longer have to do a separate exam to get them on your EASA licence............ Did wonder what the CAA would say if I asked for the group to be added to my Section L licence as I have them on my EASA one lol............
