Sorry to come back to all this yet again but I'm flippin confused
I have an old UK PPL A (SEP and TMG) my ratings lapsed 10 months ago but I'm now looking to get flying again. I have a medical (class 2) booked this friday and expect to do some flying and revalidate by test before the end of March. What then? I'll need an EASA licence to fly my EASA falke (once it's in the air "another story"
) so what's the best advice?
Apply for a JAR PPL and it will automatically become an EASA PPL? (will the EASA licence then be lifetime or 5 yearly?)
Wait until July, revalidate my ratings and apply for an EASA licence? (will I have to take other tests such as writtens ect if I do?)
Give up, sell the Falke and just fly PFA types on my old licence?
Anybody any idea of the most cost effective / easiest route, or is everyone just as confused as me? I have looked at the various CAA FAQ's ect but I'm lost in the detail
