What you say about UK Licences issued after 2012 will not be convertible to EASA licences is not true.
This has not been decided yet. I sat on a very boring meeting on Friday on the committee that is looking at these issues. It has decided to form a sub committee that will report back to the main committee and then refer back to EASA
It is all FAR from settled as to what is happening.
As for doing difference training- 2 hours is the time we allow for the flight test NOT the conversion training.
