SSEA is totally acceptable on PPL A(as Beagle says see ANO, (there are multiple reference to it,s validity in other places)
I searched the ANO, ORS4,'s,AIC 'S and other documents for changes over the years.
My licences (PPL)was re issued ,by the CAA with SSEA ,after a GST on a singe, since my PPL had been lost ,my professional license expired, and i could not meet the requirements of a class 2.
They would not issue a duplicate without a current rating and appropriate medical, this option was hopefully, to at least keep expired ratings on the Back page,(not a complete success.)
In that SEP could at the time be used with a self cert , but NOT re-validated, or issued
The idea been to re-validate my F/I once recovery from heart surgery was complete(dreaded tread mill),and to enable me to remain current.
Otherwise it meant it meant SSEA test NPPL issue ,medical SEP test reissue of PPL ££££
This way i could re validate SEP along with the F/I
The LAA kindly added the SSEA., and dealt with the CAA on my behalf.after much debate with them ,and the CAA
One of the problems i have come across are with reference to some exemption,which it has not been specified in, such as it's, validity outside UK airspace even with a ICAO medical and appropriate ,experience paperwork.
And bewildered examiners.
AND can any one answer this please? Licensing is indeed complex, i know some one who only fly microlight on an EASA PPL and get it signed ,bi anually by an Examiner after a bi annual in a microlight , no GST NO LPC ,NO time on a Group A ,have they got this wrong or has it changed??

Your 'someone' must fly a renewal Proficiency Check in an SEP aeroplane with a Part-FCL FE in order to exercise PIC privileges legally.
It is likely that Part-FCL will soon recognise flight time in microlight aircraft for SEP Class Rating revalidation purposes, but the refresher flying with an FI will still need to be in a non-microlight SEP Class aeroplane.

But does he still hold a UK National licence as well, if it was issued for a lifetime, he probably does? According to the CAA website:
For pilots flying on a UK national licence, including the NPPL(A), flight experience amassed in microlight aircraft with three axis flight controls can be counted towards the flying experience requirements necessary to maintain the SEP and SSEA Class Ratings.
