starting ATPL EASA with UK CAA
I'm a current Captain with an ICAO Compliant ATP (not EASA). I recently was approved by the UK CAA to register for the 14 ATPL exams ( exemption approved,not required to attend ATO). My worry is that if I start the process and half way through it there's changes regarding the Brexit and UK not being an EASA state any more ,it could potentially affect me half way through the process. Is there any other EASA state (Ireland, Spain etc) that offers the same to convert to EASA ATP?. The UK CAA has a very neat and well organized website that facilitates the bookings, just worry I might not be able to finish it.Thanks.

It seems more and more likely the UK will be part of the EEA (Norway model) from March next year, in which case the UK will stay in EASA. Though if they will not join the EEA they will not be part of EASA anymore. And the fact that there are no plans in case the UK leaves EASA is all the more worrying
Register with a non-UK EASA authority for the exams, you do not want to have to resit your passed ATPL theory exams from April 2019

Say in March 2019 you have passed 7 exams under the UKCAA with the intention of obtaining the EASA ATPL theory credits. The UK leaves the EU without a deal (EEA membership or other that includes EASA membership) you would need to resit the 7 you have passed under another EASA authority unless you choose for a possible national UK license. Under Part FCL all 14 exams for the EASA ATPL theory need to be passed under one EASA authority.
