The UK CAA will re-introduce the national 'lifetime' PPL (and CPL and ATPL) for use on UK-registered Annexe II aircraft. It will continue to be possible to add an IMC rating to these licences but not to an EASA licence. When UK issued JAA licences are re-issued as EASA licences, any non-EASA ratings, such as the IMC will be removed. It is also worth noting that any other ratings (e.g. class or type ratings) that are not current at the time of re-issue will not be transferred to the new licence.
