...........Conversion to a UK issued License is merely a matter of submitting a form and your logbook. If that's too big a deal for you then don't let the door hit your ass on the way out and mind the queue as you go.........
I like your friendly european style!
As somebody said: hell lot of paperwork - not true- Fill out the papers, send it in to the required authority as you do with your "british" papers. However, do not plan the sim on the last day, so that the TRE can sign direct to the licence. Matter of good airmanship to maintain a pilot licence!
And WWW, look careful into the regulations and you find that some pilots with a valid i.e. german JAR licence would loose their TRE status changing to a UK JAR licence.
I bet, if you are a TRE you would not accept to loose your TRE status!
Fazit, there is more to it than "hit your ass"!
