Conversion of ICAO CPL(IR) to EASA(IR)
I am the holder of a current CPL(IR) (A) issued in accordance with ICAO and Part 61. My licence is current. I have moved to EASA-land, and have been trying to work out how to convert my licence to an EASA (IR) equivalent licence. I do not fly professionally, but initially did my CPL to obtain a higher level of training when doing the IR. Hence if I can only qualify for a PPL(IR), it will not be a train smash.
I am finding it very difficult to determine what needs to be done to obtain an EASA (IR) licence. When I first approached the UK CAA they suggested I would have to re-do my licence from scratch. This does not seem sensible or helpful.
Given that there have been some movements with EASA licences recently, can anyone assist on whether there is a more sensible route that has now opened up ?
Many thanks
