New Zealand to UK PPL
Has anyone converted a New Zealand PPL to a UK PPL? If so, do you know whether I need a New Zealand examiner or whether it can be a designated examiner to convert the licence?

Conversion of a licence issued by a non-JAA State A licence issued by a non-JAA State may be converted to a JAR-FCL licence provided that an arrangement exists between the JAA and the non-JAA State. This arrangement shall be established on the basis of reciprocity of licence acceptance and shall ensure that an equivalent level of safety exists between the training and testing requirements of the JAA and the non-JAA State. Any arrangement entered into will be reviewed periodically, as agreed by the non-JAA State and the JAA. A licence converted according to such an arrangement shall have an entry indicating the non-JAA State upon which the conversion is based. Other Member States shall not be obliged to accept any such licence. Details on licence conversion terms can be found in the relevant section pertaining to the licence being sought. Credit given to a holder of a licence issued by a non-JAA State An applicant for a JAR-FCL licence and IR, if applicable, already holding at least an equivalent licence issued in accordance with ICAO Annex 1 by a non-JAA State shall meet all the requirements of JAR-FCL, except that the requirements of course duration, number of lessons and specific training hours may be reduced. The CAA may be guided as to the credits to be granted on the basis of a recommendation from an appropriate training organisation. Validation of Licences issued by Non-JAA States A licence issued by a non-JAA State may be rendered valid at the discretion of the Authority of a JAA Member State for use on aircraft registered in that JAA Member State in accordance with Appendix 1 to JAR-FCL 1.015/2.015. Validation of a professional pilot’s licence shall not exceed one year from the date of validation, provided that the basic licence remains valid. Any further validation for use on aircraft registered in any JAA Member State is subject to agreement by the JAA Member States and to any conditions seen fit within the JAA. The user of a licence validated by a JAA Member State shall comply with the requirements stated in JAR-FCL. For further information regarding validations, please contact PLD for advice. The requirements stated in the above shall not apply where aircraft registered in a JAA Member State are leased to an operator in a non-JAA State, provided that the State of the operator has accepted for the period of lease the responsibility for the technical and/or operational supervision in accordance with JAR-OPS 1.165. The licences of the flight crews of the non-JAA State operator may be validated at the discretion of the Authority of the JAA Member State concerned, provided that the privileges of the flight crew licence validation are restricted for use during the lease period only on nominated aircraft in specified operations not involving a JAA operator, directly or indirectly, through a wet lease or other commercial arrangement. Exercising the privileges of a Non-UK Licence in UK registered aircraft Article 26, of the ANO 2005, states that a pilot must hold an appropriate licence granted either by the CAA or by a foreign authority and rendered valid under the ANO to fly a UK registered aircraft. A JAA licence is deemed to be a licence rendered valid under the ANO unless the CAA in the particular case gives direction to the contrary. A JAA licence is a licence issued in accordance with licensing and medical requirements of JAR-FCL by a full JAA Member State that has been recommended for mutual recognition by Central JAA (JAA Headquarters). A licence issued by any other ICAO Contracting State (including a JAA State that has not yet been recommended for mutual recognition) is also deemed to be valid under the ANO for the purposes of flying a UK registered aircraft, providing that the licence and medical are valid in accordance with the rules/laws of the issuing State, and the CAA does not in the particular case give direction to the contrary. However, the ANO 2005 Article 26 (4) (a) states that the holder of such a licence cannot: 1. act as a member of the flight crew of any aircraft flying for the purpose of public transport or aerial work or on any flight in respect of which he receives remuneration for his services as a member of the flight crew; or 2. in the case of a pilot’s licence, to act as a pilot of any aircraft flying in controlled airspace in circumstances requiring compliance with the Instrument Flight Rules or to give any instruction in flying. |
The holder of a current and valid PPL(A)* issued by
an ICAO Contracting State (not being a JAA Member State), who has flown a minimum of 100 hours as pilot of aeroplanes, is credited the JAR-FCL PPL(A) flying training/experience requirements, except the PPL(A) Skill Test. • The holder of a current and valid PPL(A)* issued by an ICAO Contracting State (not being a JAA Member State), who has flown less than 100 hours as pilot of aeroplanes, but meets the JAR-FCL PPL(A) flying experience requirements (as per JAR-FCL 1.125(b) is credited the flying training, except the PPL(A) Skill Test. SECTION C JAR-FCL PPL (AEROPLANE) LAS SECTION C PRIVATE PILOT LICENCE * If the ICAO licence has expired and/or no valid aeroplane rating has been held for a period exceeding 5 years preceding application, applicants will be required to complete flying training at the discretion of the Head of Training of the approved training provider, and pass the PPL(A) Skill Test. • The holder of a NPPL (SSEA) wishing to obtain a JAR-FCL PPL(A) should refer to Section C6.2 Upgrade to JAR-FCL PPL(A). The holder of a current and valid PPL(A)* issued by an ICAO Contracting State (not being a JAA Member State), who has flown a minimum of 100 hours as pilot of aeroplanes, will be required to pass written examinations in Air Law and Human Performance and Limitations. (If no valid aeroplane rating has been held in the 5 years preceding application, then all JAR theoretical knowledge exams would need to be passed). An applicant who also wishes to obtain a FRTOL will be required to pass the JAR-FCL PPL Communications (PPL) theoretical knowledge examination and practical communications test unless they qualify for credit as detailed in Section B1.4. *If the ICAO PPL(A) has expired then all JAR theoretical knowledge exams would need to be passed. *If the ICAO PPL(A) has expired then all JAR theoretical knowledge exams would need to be passed. • The holder of a current and valid PPL(A) issued by an ICAO Contracting State (not being a JAA Member State), who has flown less than 100 hours as pilot of aeroplanes, will be required to pass all JAR theoretical knowledge examinations. |
