Is a seperate FRTOL still required
I notice the new EASA licences come with the FRTOL printed on them with no expiry.
Also, if they re-print your NPPL or other National licence in the new format it has an FRTOL printed on them with no expiry.
I have a separate FRTOL which expires in 2 years. Do I need to renew this?

As I understand it, all licences have to be converted to EASA versions by April 2015 unless you only fly Annex II aircraft.
Assuming you aren't an Annex II only pilot, the remaining 2 years on your FRTOL won't be an issue, as you will have converted before it's expiry.

I have converted already, and it seems FRTOL is in built with new format licences. CAA even re-printed my NPPL for me so that now also includes FRTOL. So I guess my separate FRTOL is redundant now and can be left to expire, unless there is any reason to renew it as a separate licence.
Hi Kev.
Yes, your new Licence has your RT Privileges (if you have them) included on it. and your old RT Licence is now redundant.

So what happens if your medical expires? Can you no longer help do the radio, as a Pax.
I think your RT Privileges can be exercised without a Medical.
Also, I think you can operate the RT under the supervision of the holder of RT privileges, or an FRTOL.

FCL 040 states
The exercise of the privileges granted by a licence shall be dependent upon the validity of the ratings contained therein, if applicable, and of the medical certificate.
