No definitely not. The only requirement is an MCC.

Not done Cut-e as I’ve already done Sim/interview etc. I am going through the AFA process currently with a UK license, however it’s being transferred to an EASA state (IAA). If you only have a UK license you won’t be eligible as you will be flying EI registered aircraft

What date did you submit your request with the IAA? I got my application in on the 17th of Dec and they requested the docs from the CAA on the 30th Dec, so just in time. You can see the status of your application with the caa, there’s an email address on their website which will give you an automatic reply.

Yes, I am in the process with the IAA, they haven't replied to my emails since before Christmas. I specifically said to AFA I am still a UK holder and that they (IAA) haven't replied, AFA still said come along for the sim assessment next week. I am unsure as to what happens as I did submit a transfer request pre 31st, however I have a horrible feeling that the IAA didn't ask to release my documents before then, which leaves me in a pickle. I guess we will find out after!

Thanks Dashcam.

This is why I am confused. I have told AFA I have a UK issued licence not in the process of converting it when they asked me to fill out the form, but I have been sent the Cut-e tests to do still. I am gonna do them because its worth a shot, maybe there is a simplified conversion in the pipeline between NAA's eg CAA to IAA as oppose to the usual EASA to FAA. My understanding is currently RYR pilots with an EASA licence cannot renew their medical in the UK as there isn't a process in place for CAA registered AME's to carry out renewals/reval on EASA medical holders, which is why I think there maybe a simpler conversion between NAA's with the CAA in the future, but what do I know!

I see, I am not in the process of transferring my licence sadly (slow on the uptake with that). Interesting situation you find yourself in. All the best with the sim assessment, any feedback you have would be greatly appreciated.

Hi mate, just curious to see if you have that email to hand as can't seem to find it on the uk caa website?

My understanding is this, the UK is now classed as a third party state, ICAO License, which means you have to take the ATPL Exams again if you want a CPL/IR, Skill test etc. There is a lot of information out there, this is off the EASA website:

I am a holder of a UK issued ATPL and would like to convert that license into a license from an EASA Member State. How should I proceed?

Your UK issued ATPL license will no longer be valid to operate an aircraft registered in an EASA Member State as of January 1, 2021. Unless you were able to transfer that license to an EASA Member State before January 1, 2021, you will need to convert it into an EU license in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2020/723. You can apply for that conversion to any of the EASA Member State competent authorities.

Now Ryanair have for many years have required all pilots to hold a IAA License, it makes the paperwork a lot easier.

I hate to say this son, but you have had a lot of advance notice to change your license, you are limiting your options severely.

Best of luck

Did anybody of you get an invitation for Lauda Europe assessment in January?
(A320 rated First Officers)

You should ask the team for clarifications before you do the test as you need an EASA licence

[a320--]

Hello wingmanion, just today i got the interview for the 22nd in Dublin. How about you?

[Wingmanion]

Same date. I received my invitation last week.

Does anybody have any information what to expect in the Lauda Europe assessment and screening?

[polskiland]

Did anyone get some response who applied just with a normal MCC/JOC?

[Tecnamcaptain]

I haven't got any reply yet. I only hold a MCC / JOC too, but I applied a few weeks ago. When did you apply?

[Mikith]

MCC/JOC from Simtech and got the online assessment last week, applied in october (AFA cadets)

[Tecnamcaptain]

Hi Mikith,

One question, when you get the invitation for the online assessment, how long do you have to complete it? Or they tell you to do it as soon as possible?

[Fixedgear]

It seems the MCC/JOC is the norm again. Both Ryanair and Lauda accept applicants that have done the standard MCC/JOC, as opposed to the much hyped (and Ryanair marketed) APSMCC.

By doing this they admit the APSMCC is . The Ryanair APSMCC is even bigger as anyone who can pay for the TR is being considered.

Keep it real.

[flyfan]

Good luck to all who apply now and in the future.

The times are really hard, and you definitely need it All the best

You could also argue the AFA TR is even bigger given the lack of an employment contract.

Hi,
Once we click on the cut-e registration link, we receive an invitation from them to complete the assessment within 3 days.
(We have 5 days to complete our cut-e registration)
Duration of the assessment : 1h45
Good luck !
