FAA PPL to LAPL
Does anyone know what would be required to convert an FAA PPL to LAPL?
Thanks in advance for any info supplied. Cheers GF |

Thanks for the info BillieBob.
I have almost 500 hours on SEP and would prefer the LAPL if there was any hopes of a conversion route being created. What do you think, do you know if there has been any discussion about this in CAA FCL circles? GF |
I'm not aware of any move to introduce a conversion route from any 3rd country licence to the LAPL , particularly as the LAPL is sub-ICAO. You could always convert your FAA PPL to an EASA PPL and then drop back to an LAPL, although I can't see why you would want to.
The European Commission yesterday agreed to extend the derogation for the validation of licences for non-commercial purposes to 8 April 2015 and so, in the UK at least, you can continue to use your FAA PPL in UK registered aircraft. |
Do you mean the automatic validation followed by 1 year of formal validation to take you up to 2016?
