Matt Lee, Head of Aviation Regulation Enforcement at the CAA, said: The new EASA licences, which are set to replace all existing licences in April 2012, are expected to be non-expiring, but, until then, JAR licence holders must comply with the current rules. Most JAR licences will become EASA licences on 8th April 2012. They will be physically replaced with EASA licences when next submitted to the CAA for renewal, or for any change or amendment.
Why would anyone need to submit a non expiring licence for renewal (Actually the correct JAA term is re-issue)?
