Purple Pilot.
If you still have a valid JAR ATPL, you are in the same position as Dan, and all the above applies to you also.
If you actually have a new EASA ATPL, all the above still applies, but your expired ratings will have been put on the back, (inactve side) of the Licence and, to restore them to the active side of the Licence, you will have to complete the renewal requirements with an ATO/RTF, the Flight test/s
and then apply to the CAA to have them renewed.
Alternatavely, you can renew the SEP on your old lifetime CAA PPL at an ATO/RTF, without having to apply to the CAA for the renewal, but that would only be valid on EASA aircraft until 8th of April next year, and just 'Annex II' aircraft after that.
If you wanted to continue flying EASA aircraft after that, you would have to transfer the SEP to your ATPL, at the same time, converting to an EASA ATPL, or convert your old PPL to an EASA PPL, or LAPL, but in that case, you would have to give up your EASA ATPL, as you cannot hold more than one EASA Licence for the same Catergory of aircraft at the same time.
