Life after JAA Frozen ATPL?
I qualified for the JAA Frozen ATPL in 2001 and have visited the UK periodically to renew the licence (I currently live in Canada). As time passes it is becoming more and more unlikely that I will ever use my JAA Frozen ATPL. If I fail to renew my licence (Multi-instrument bit) what flying priveledges do I retain? I would at some stage in the future like to fly privately or commercially/instruct PPL (VFR) in the UK.
In Canada, when an instrument rating expires an ATPL becomes a CPL as long as the holder maintains a class one medical. If the holder decides on a class 3 medical then they can exercise PPL flying priveledges. Does a similar sliding scale exist in the UK/JAR land?
And before I get flamed for being a bone idle b****r I have trawled through the CAA's LASORS with absolutely no joy.
Many thanks.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Aviation in Canada is a tough beast and inspite of having an ATPL it doesn't often come with a well paying flying job as one would expect in the UK.
I understand the currency requirements to maintain my Jaa fatpl. What I need to know is if I don't continue to undergoe Multi-IFR flight tests what am I left with, a PPL? A CPL? Nothing ?

I believe its a cpl your left with. The atpl privilages however will disappear(so no multi crew job). To renew anything you would need to do atpl exams again, followed by MEIR renewal. And the more im beginning to think about it, the more i seem to remember 7 years
