EASA and NON EASA
 

Under the new EASA regulations my National licence will have to be replaced with an EASA one to continue flying EASA aircraft at the latest 7th April 2014, that I understand. However, the Gazelle is not an EASA aircraft so can this be flown with an EASA licence or is it possible to retain a National licence aswell? (Suspect not!)

Mods. I know this is a licencing question but it relates to me directly with helicopters and in any case Rotorheads generally answer questions more intelligently than other pages of pprune! :ok:

It's in their type rating list.

That's interesting. Under Eurocopter it is an EASA aircraft but if it was built by Westland it is not!
So my guess being if it is ex military it is not EASA. So the question still remains. How do you fly an ex mil machine?

With a UK National licence. CAP804 explains all about Annex II a/c, as this will be.

It's the model number that makes either EASA or annex11

If its a 341g or a342j it can only be easa but if its a 341a,b,c,d,,e,f,h,k it's a annex11 aircraft

Some Westland built 341g are civil aircraft and have EASA a/w I know this because I own one also USA built gazelles are 341g

If your licence shows 341g or 342j then you can only fly civil ones but if it says 341/342 you should be able to fly any

When you upgrade to an EASA licence you have the option, for an extra £35, to be given a national licence with national types on. Mine all came through together so just keeping them in the same, impossibly small, new licence holder.

Good info and largely answered so many thanks.
With an EASA and National licence then what about type renewal? 2 experience/test requirements for the same aircraft? Surely not?
