OK - some help please.
I hope to complete by IMCr and get all my paperwork to Gatwick well before the 30 June 2012 deadline - I will then presumably be issued with a replacement JAR-FCL licence which will now include the IMC rating.
Given that my PPL licence is due to expire on 29 Sep 2013 (5 years), I understand that when I send my £76 for a reissue in Sep 13, I will get a new Part-FCL licence. Am I correct in assuming that unless the IMC rating is negotiated to be added to a Part-FCL licence (as per Para 7 of the CAA statement), I will have lost the rating? So I don't even get to the 8th April 2014 because I will no longer have a JAR-FCL licence from Oct 13.
Will the CAA reissue a licence before the 5 years is up? In other words - issue it now (1.5 years early) and date it 5 years hence?
And what is a "UK non-JAR-FCL/non-Part-FCL" licence?
Thanks
Nik
