FAA/ICAO to UK CAA conversion post Brexit

[MADMAX190]

Hi all,
Does anyone know anything about changes to the conversion from FAA or other ICAO licence post Brexit?
Will they perhaps make it possible without sitting 14 exams, a flight test and handing over your first born?
Maybe they'll bring back something like this used to have whereby if you have X amount of PIC on certain types you can convert to a restricted UK CAA and the have that lifted after a few years?
Does anyone know anything on this matter?
Cheers

Until we know whether we will remain an EASA member state after 31 December 2020, it is not clear what will happen.

I figured as much, when will this end!?
Thanks

This has been said here, and many other places, many many times over recent months - but if you'd missed that, no harm in repeating.

NOBODY KNOWS.

Just wait, keep watching all the usual places. We really will not know, I think, for some time.

Well, I did try searching through the forum and google to find that info and avoid a message from the pprune angry crew, but I must not be as adept at searching it as others.
​​​​​​Thanks for repeating.

Everyone is playing their cards very close to their chest for reasons that are not clear to me. As an example, before we entered into this transition period there was nothing at all in the transition agreement or elsewhere that said we would continue membership of EASA, and right up to the night of Brexit both EASA and CAA websites were months out of date still talking about the possibility of a no-deal Brexit. On the night of Brexit both suddenly made very carefully worded announcements that don't actually say the UK is still in EASA but sort of imply it, although by phone the Authority are quite clear that our certificates are still good. Now why not give us this info in advance? Who knows? We actually had to wait to see if an EASA approval activation arrived or not on the on monday morning to be sure, not very satisfactory.

The UK retains all of the rights and responsibilities of an EU member state for the duration of the transition period. However, it is quite possible that the same issue will re-occur should a future trade agreement not be reached that includes membership of EASA or mutual agreement of licences. The problem is that we cannot be members of EASA without accepting the jurisdiction of the ECJ, which the current UK government appears determined not to do. I wouldn't expect any help from the CAA as they're fumbling around in the dark just like the rest of us.
