I got a letter from the CAA that my license is up for renewal this november.
The letter start with:
Your JAR PPL(A) license will expire on [date]. At this stage you have the option if you have not already done so, to convert to a JAR license [...]
(my bold)
This is then followed by a paragraph about the requirements to convert to a JAR license and the consequences of such a conversion. Plus an overview of conversion costs. Plus all the forms required to do a UK national to JAR-FCL license.
To the best of my knowledge, I was already issued a JAR-FCL PPL at my initial application, almost five years ago. It also says so in the poo brown booklet.
Is the CAA simply mistaken and have they used the wrong cover letter template in their mail merge, or is there something I should know about?
And a related question: I haven't sorted my LPE yet. Does it make sense (ie. does it save money) if I do my license renewal simultaneously with the sending of the LPE forms?
