UK EASA licence outside the UK
 

Hi all,

I am considering the option of moving outside the UK to go and fly in Spain. I have a UK EASA licence with a A320 TR on it. I have got around 460h TT (flying the A320 currently).

Would I be able to fly EC- registered aircrafts with my UK EASA licence? If so, how would I renew my TR?

Could I consider changing my licence to a Spanish EASA licence (and therefore the medical as well?). Has anyone had any experiences with this?

I have been reading this and other forums and Part-FCL but I am afraid I haven't found any useful information. I have called the Spanish EASA team as well but they are on holidays.

Kind regards

Yes Ofcourse!It is called EASA license for a reason.Since Spain is under EASA you would be able to fly an EC- registere a/c on your UK license.The A320 type rating can be revalidated/renewed by a UK examiner or any other EASA examiner(provided he undertakes a briefing from the UKCAA).You can fly on a UK license in spain and there is no need to convert unless the operator wants you to do so.
Hope this helps.

Seriously? You have an EASA licence but no idea of it's priviliges? What are they teaching?

Apparent Wander and that super important stuff!

I was laughing so hard after I read your post :D

Thank you everyone, I paniced a bit when someone told me I had to have an aptitude test if I wanted to fly an aircraft outside the UK. Any expierence converting licences though? :ok:

@maxed-out I couldn't stop laughing as well but you are so right.

Is this thread for real?
