UK CAA license holders - good news.
The latest - in the most recent information bulletin.
"This amendment includes the following - Taking credit for derogations accepted by the European Commission and their consequential effects. These include credits for current instrument ratings and aircraft type ratings held on third-country ICAO compliant licences against the renewal requirements of the equivalent ratings included in a Part-FCL licence". http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/Informa...ice2014156.pdf |
There is an error with the link
Edit: Found it, I think? http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/Informa...ice2014156.pdf |
It's been in force for a while, it's just they've updated the paperwork.

SO does this mean I can now put the 777/787 on my EASA licence without any restrictions to A6- registered aircraft?
Or have I misunderstood the post? |

FWIW: literally yesterday I was doing just that at the 'Belgrano' (aka 'Aviation House' = CAA @ LGW)
The requirements to convert your licence to a Part FCL are detailed below:
That said, all previous (expired) ratings will be listed in the section 'Ratings previously held by holder'. If you are in current flying practice using a current & valid ICAO third country licence (e.g. GCAA) on the same aircraft type as a rating as held within your UK issued licence you are not required to attend an ATO (which is the new name for TRTO) for refresher training, as detailed within the information notice for which the UK CAA's 'derogation' has been accepted by EASA. In order to have a rating issued with your Part FCL license you need to pass a Licence Proficiency Check (LPC) with an appropriately authorised UK or EASA TRE. The following paperwork will need to be submitted for the renewal of the Type Rating:
All of the above is for a conversion of a UK JAR ATPL into an EU EASA Part FCL including any ratings that were already originally held on the JAR license. E.g. I had a B737 already on my UK JAR license, and I am flying that same type here in Dubai on my GCAA license. I have recently passed an LPC on that same type with an EASA approved TRE, in a sim approved by EASA. Accordingly the UK CAA issued me with a EASA Part FCL license with B737-300 thru -900. They also listed my previous ratings for B757 / B767 (although they are now defunct, as more than 5 years have elapsed since I renewed my IR on that type) in the section for 'Ratings previously held by holder'. Nb. Unlike the JAR license, the Part FCL is now valid for the lifetime of the holder. Now here's the bit I'm not sure about, i.e. if the type for which you're requiring a rating was not previously held on your UK JAR License, I suspect you will need - at the very minimum - to provide a 'Course Completion Certificate' in with your Part FCL application (indeed the nice lady at the Belgrano even mentioned as much to me yesterday, i.e. before she realised that all I wanted was to include / revalidate a type that was previously on my JAR License). I would imagine that if you were looking to put, say, a B777 in your EASA license, wherein the B777 was a type you obtained via working for, say, Emirates, then if you did your training at CAE in Dubai you could ask CAE for an EASA approved 'Course Completion Certificate' and, being that CAE are a worldwide ATO, that should(?) be acceptable to the Belgrano ?! Nb. The requirements for inclusion of a type obtained via an non EASA license seem to listed within: CAP 804 / Section 4 / Part Q / Sub-part 2 / Conversion of Non-EASA licences issued by States other than the UK / C. Acceptance of Class and Type Ratings http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAP%208...ept%202014.pdf |
Thanks OKC.

The British Airways Direct Entry (DEP) recruitment programme - now accepting applications for B747-400/767/777/787 type rated...
For those FO's who wish to possibly return UK. |
For once i regret no longer being an FO.
If they do not jump onto this offer, they should never come back here and moan!! Such an opportunity, home, longhaul on a legacy carrier, will not arise very often.:ok: |
Glofish
Legacy carrier in name only. No final salary pension, many, many years to command, 65 retirement age, contributory pension subject to market fluctuations, many years doing ****e trips due low seniority and only just reaching CAP pay. 40% income tax and 10% NI contributions. As an EK F/O, you'll take home the same wage as a junior Captain in BA. BA is not the airline it was 20 years ago. Back to topic please! Harry |
Has anybody managed to get the 380 on their UK EASA license with GCAA/EK documents?
|
So I have my 787/777 rating on my EASA licence. Flying the same type in the middle east how do I keep the rating current on the EASA licence. Do they now except 3rd Party LPC's for rating renewal as well ?
