Lapsed UK PPL
Hi All,
I have a UK PPL since 1993. I did not changed it neither for JAA, nor EASA licence, its still the good old fashion hard cover PPL. I was current until 2-3 years ago, since I have not flown. Now I want to bring it back alive, and just realising about all the new regulations about EASA. At moment I am in Finland, and I was advised, that I can do everything here. I have already my appointment for the medical. I am pretty sure that will be accepted CAA. I also found a company who would do the Proficiency Check here. The problem, although they can train for PPL in Finland, they are not ATO. I guess the examiner will have the necessary authority, but what about the refreshing training? Would it be accepted by CAA? And I believe when its all done, I have to send it to CAA to convert for EASA licence. Thanks for any advise. |
You need two things besides an EASA medical; a Course Completion Certificate signed by an EASA ATO and a Profficiency Check conducted by a UK notified EASA Examiner See IN 50-2015
You will then need to complete SRG 1104 to convert your old UK PPL, which requires a Certification (Section 9 (v))that you are competent to use radio navigation aids. I guess the examiner will have the necessary authority, but what about the refreshing training? Would it be accepted by CAA? Additionally, you will need a certificate of English Language Profficiency SRG1199 signed by a UK Examiner, a Finnish certificate would not be accepted. |
Thank you very much. Its getting pretty complicated. What I don't understand, if this school in Helsinki can train PPLs, /I guess nowadays everything is EASA, so their student will get EASA PPL/ how come they are not EASA compliant. Anyway I have the feeling I better wait to get back to UK and do everything there.
