Terminology and privileges aside, how is the SSEA rating added to the UK PPL? Is it sufficient just to undertake the GST and get it signed off in a log book, or does the pilot have to get an SSEA rating added to the UK JAR PPL? If he was just revalidating an SEP(L) rating by taking the GST then it would be signed up as a renewal and no fee would be payable to the CAA. However can the examiner just add an SSEA rating in the same way or does the rating have to be 'issued' by an appropiate authority? If not what proof has to be available to say that the pilot is operating legally? Also does the NPPL Association require a copy of the medical declaration - I can't imagine they would be interested as the pilot is not actually an NPPL licence holder. Or should a copy be sent to the CAA instead?
