My point is that the CAA is giving permission for those with hours on EASA aircraft to be counted against the national licence requirements as they are able to do.
What we haven't heard about is whether or not the CAA is lobbying EASA to allow for a direct grandfathering of the current ICAO-compliant UK-PPL to the future ICAO-compliant EASA PPL.
We've seen the document that advises us to move to the JAR-licence in anticipation of the change, but this comes at an unnecessary cost.
