Non-expiring PPLs

[tmmorris]

Related to my other question (you can tell that the 10th anniversary of my PPL is coming up!) - I read somewhere that PPLs were to become non-expiring again. Does that apply to existing PPLs or will I need to apply for renewal this year when it expires, and then will I get a permanent one?

(Mine is a UK-issued JAR PPL.)

I think it applies to everyone. Not sure about UK PPLs but I read somewhere that everyone with a JAR license is to automatically get an EASA one and it will be for life as opposed to the current setup. That's when the EASA licenses appear though, I don't know what will happen in the meantime.

Worse than that Tim, I'm afraid. You'll have to renew your licence for another JAR-FCL one this year, then when it expires in 2016 it will again have to be replaced by an EASA Part-FCL one. That will be non-expiring.

when the EASA licenses appear though...

have to be replaced by an EASA Part-FCL one

That is, assuming there will be an EASA Part-FCL license. Latest rumour has it the text has yet not been transmitted to the European Parliament.

But the intention is indeed that, unlike EASA itself and the EASA 2012 budget, the EASA license will be non-expiring.

Thanks all. Business as usual for now, then (business being the word, as far as the CAA goes!)

Latest rumour has it the text has yet not been transmitted to the European Parliament.

Hardly surprising given that Part-FCL will now need considerable amendment to include the provisions of the now defunct Part-OR. Since the latter has not yet completed the CRD process, let alone comitology, it will be interesting to see how EASA attempts to bring the implmentation of the two documents together.

The European Parliament will not now be debating part-FCL until June at the earliest.....

Bit like our current arrangments on a CAA PPL then.


Just as an aside
"a BFR every 2 years" Well how often would you expect a BIANNUAL flight review then?

[gijoe]

I would expect a Biannual Flight Review twice a year and a Biennial Flight Review once every two years...............................

HAH!! GI Joe beat me too it. We had (another) student ask the same question, we made him wash the Tommies :-)

Back on thread, what is this 10 year limit then if the CAA PPL is life time? is this JAAPPL?

Balls -

OK your right on that one, you caught out my dyslexia

Assuming that you did really know what your acronym meant and are simply being pedantic in an attempt at sophistication, I will rephrase my question.

"a BFR every 2 years" - How often would you expect a BFR then?




In case you are in any doubt (sophistication - a deliberately invalid argument displaying ingenuity in reasoning in the hope of deceiving someone)

While we are talking dyslexia, that should be "you're" right

Thanks, your right of course. The correct gramer and punctuation is so much more important than the content of the message.

As a point of order perhaps that should be typing not talking
