Easa cpl/me/ir to uk caa cpl me ir
Hi i'm trying to find out the exact process or what is required in able to get a UK CPL ME IR, I currently hold a UK PPL & both medical class 1 from UK/Austro Control and have completed the ATPLS before December 2020, again under Austro Control, thus if i finish my training at an ATO in the E.U whom can only do the the skills test under an EASA Authority, does that mean if i wish to also have a UK CPL ME IR alongside the EASA licence, do I have to do further additional training in the UK or just complete the relevant UK CAA forms and make sure they are sent before the deadline set at the end of this year 31st December 2022? Again I apologise if a similar thread has been discussed before but i have sent three emails to the UK CAA within the last two months and I am yet to receive a reply.
Also once in possession of both Licence's, does that mean in order to keep both current prior to their renewal date can i then do the necessary requirements i.e skills test/ refresher training as one session or does it have to be split into two, as in one with a UK ATO/Examiner and one under the EASA state ATO/Examiner.
Thank you

If you completed the ATPL Theory under Austro and passed all exams before Dec 2020 then the UK CAA should recognize all your passes as equivalent. You may need to apply to have those results recognized by the CAA (and make sure to do it before Dec 31 2022). You can then do the practical training at any ATO which is authorized by both the CAA and EASA, which would mean doing training once, but you would have to undertake dual skills tests for each element, once for EASA and once for the CAA... if you went to an EASA ATO which was not recognized and authorized by the CAA, then I guess you would be unable to take the CAA skills test, and would have to go through a certain amount of training at a CAA ATO in order to be able to fly the CAA skills tests. So the best bet is to find an ATO that is under both authorities. On the renewal front, I'm not sure, its not an issue I have to contend with... I would imagine that if you can find an examiner who has dual licenses, you'd probably be able to get them to sign off both in one go.
Good luck trying to communicate with the CAA... contact with North Korea is easier!
