From CAP804 Jan 2013 Section 4 Part P
3.1 Conversion of existing UK licences
a) All UK issued licences that are fully compliant with JAR-FCL automatically became
EASA licences with effect from 8 April 2012 but need to be physically replaced on
or before their calendar expiry date. All UK issued licences that are not fully
compliant with JAR-FCL are UK national licences.
Part N 1.4 also states that JAR Medicals are now EASA medicals.
However nowhere does it state that Ratings/Qualifications contained on
JAR Licences are now EASA Ratings.
So does that mean we're all flying illegally?
I think not but, the reason for my Posting is, I have heard of a
Flying School that has told all it's members that their IMC Ratings
are no longer valid.
Their reasoning:
JAR-FCL Licences are now EASA Licences and an IMC Rating cannot be
attached to an EASA Licence.
Need to physically replace existing JAR Licence with a Part-FCL Licence
with an IR(R) on it to regain privileges.
