2016: renew EASA PPL (SE) licence outside the U.K.
I need to renew my EASA PPL (SE) issued by the UK's CAA. It lapsed 9 weeks ago. However this time I have to renew this in another EASA-country, on the continent .
The question for this thread is whether information needs to be given to Gatwick prior to the ATO's evaluation and prof check? Or not?
I do not find that particular information on their site. 3 years ago on PPRuNe some wrote that you should inform Gatwick first to get an authorisation. Is this still the case, and if so which form does the local non-UK but EASA ATO need to use?
