Dear uk.rec.aviation,
maybe you can help me interpret a recent letter from the CAA.
I have a proper CAA-issued JAR PPL(A), but my country of residence is
Germany. My license is coming up for renewal in a few months, and the
CAA just sent me a letter that goes:
"... Your JAR PPL(A) license will expire on <date>. At this stage you have
the option if you have not already done so, to convert to a JAR license, in
which case you will be required to meet the requirements as per our LASORS
document ..."
They further quote a license renewal fee of 70 UK pounds, or a JAR
conversion fee of 176 UK pounds, and they add a renewal (not conversion)
form.
Can anybody shed a light on why I would want to "convert" my JAR PPL(A) into
a "JAR license"? Could it be that they refer to the option of transferring
my CAA-managed JAR license to Germany so that I'd then be outside of CAA
responsibility, or have all of you who live in the UK received similar
letters?
Cheers,
Frederik
