CAA exemption No 1293 - FCL

The UK CAA has recently published CAA exemption no 1293 re the requirement to hold a Part-FCL Light Aircraft Pilot Licence (LAPL) when acting as pilot in command of a UK registered aeroplane or TMG with an EASA Certificate of Airworthiness or EASA Permit to Fly within the privileges of the LAPL.

This exemption extends the period to 7 Apr 2020 during which pilots of EASA aeroplanes and TMGs can continue to operate with an appropriate non-EASA licence as defined by the UK ANO, eg PPL or NPPL but limited to LAPL privileges.

Under a separate exemption, pilots of UK registered EASA sailplanes are exempt from the requirement to hold an SPL or LAPL(S) until 7th April 2020.
