EASA Licencing!
Looking for some guidance here please, if anyone can help?
I have a Pre JAR UK PPL(A) with an SLMG endorsement, I haven't flown any other aircraft since gaining the licence except SLMG's (now called TMG).
I am also a Glider Pilot and Full Category Instructor.
I have an RT licence and have been classified as Level 6 for English language.
Both Licences are current and I have a valid EASA (JAR Class2) medical in force.
I have spoken to the CAA and have been told that I can:
a) Apply for a EASA PPL(A), providing I carry out 1 hours "Demonstrate the use of radio navigational aids" with an Instructor, or I can apply for a LAPL(S) via the BGA and stil fly TMG's as I do now.
Question: Applying for the LAPL(S) via the BGA is the easiest path, because all I have to do is supply all my evidence fill in the form and send it off to the BGA, (with the appropriate fee, of course), who are now authorised to convert Gliding Qualifications to Part FCL licences.
However am I losing some future priveleges that the new EASA PPL(A) would give me going forward? i.e. can I add to my LAPL(S) if I wanted to, say take lessons in a Cessna and add it to my licence?
See where I am driving?
Hope someone can answer my question?
Best Wishes to all
