Hi EIPCW.
I have just been reminded that I was issued with a JAR CPL(A)(R) from which the (R) was removed when I met the criteria for "full" JAR CPL issue.
As I never let my IR lapse by more than 7 years I can only assume (dangerous I know) that the CAA at that time accepted my UK ATPL exams - otherwise why issue me with a "full" JAR CPL as I have now AND never bat an eyelid everytime I renewed my IR?
There is another guy in a similar boat over on Flying Instructors and Examiners although he is entirely UK - ATPL exams, CPL & IR.
Regards
