Hi Rich, Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I sent the paperwork as three batches of scanned forms with a separate list as a summary on May 08th. I can confirm that yours was sent (and received by the CAA) to fclweb (at) caa.co.uk at 09:21 on May 08th. Let me chase it for you tomorrow and I w...

Hi Brian,

All you need is an Android phone...and a few minutes.

Off to a bit of a slow start due to the rain showers, but a steady flow of customers all day which kept both myself and Alan Meredith busy with Language Proficiency Endorsements. Thanks to all those who made a donation to the LAA Educational Trust. John Brady and Simon Wilson will be the LAA Coaches...

Just a reminder that we will be at Popham this Saturday and Sunday.

The LAPL and PPL are two separate licences. If you obtain an LAPL then you will need an LAPL medical to go with that licence. A Class One or Two medical may also be used with the LAPL. If your JAR-FCL/EASA PPL is current in every respect (licence, class rating) then you may obtain an Class Two medic...

Hi John, The CAA Scheme of Charges says conversion of a National PPL to EASA is £65 plus £6 P & P. I suggest you apply with this fee and see what happens. If they are charging you to convert to JAR-FCL first, this is incorrect as the CAA no longer issue a JAR-FCL licence.....The conversion report in...

Dear Peter, Many thanks for posting the information you have obtained from the CAA. I have separated the following response into two: Each has a specific Aircraft, Licence, Location. G-reg Annex II aircraft, Part-FCL LAPL, abroad We have been aware of, and are working on resolving the issue of using...

No problem at all Ian. I am planning a future article on licensing, and would be happy to put something together, including a flow chart.

All the best, Cookie

John Brady, above, is correct in that it is dependent upon the certification of the aircraft. So, as a pilot with a UK national PPL or NPPL, you will just need to review the relevant documents before you fly. If your Bolkow is on a LAA Permit to Fly, then it is non-EASA and does not require an EASA ...
