With pilot licensing due to be taken over by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in a matter of weeks, the CAA has published a guide to the coming changes. The guide – available for download at www.caa.co.uk/eupilotlicensing – provides an overview of the effects of the changes together with the key dates to be aware of. The CAA is strongly recommending all qualified and trainee pilots take the time to read the guide at the earliest opportunity.
The CAA will also be distributing hard copies of the guide to flying clubs and training organisations and handing them out at events over the summer.
The introduction of EASA licences will see the biggest change in pilot licensing since the introduction of JAR licences twelve years ago. The process begins on 8 April 2012, and the CAA will begin issuing new EASA licences from 1 July 2012.
