Australian CPL to UK CPL?
Can anyone please tell me what is required to convert an Australian CPL to a UK CPL please? I have a Valid UK Class 1 Medical, am a current QSP (SEP) and had the CPL Issued whilst on Exchange. My Australian Medical is still valid, but only as a Class 2. I'm keen to get this all completed before April and everything changes!
From my contact with the CAA early last year and from trawling through LASORS, it seems that I just need to send in my Logbooks, my CPL & UK Class 1 details and pay the licencing fee. Then a flight check on a recognised type and that's it!
Can any PPRuners confirm this please? I doubt it is that simple.....

Might be because you are asking in the military forum and as such they will not know, you need to ask in one of the civilian forum sections.

According to LASORS 2010 Section D1.5 Page 10 you will need to pass all the JAA CPL level exams and pass the CPL Skill Test. I am not aware of any agreement between the JAA and Australia that will exempt you from those requirements.

Best bet is to ring CAA SRG again and have them confirm it.
I've found LASORs don't really help in specific circumstances & there aren't many converting CPL over here. When I moved to the UK, SRG told me I just needed the Air Law & Flight Test (that was in '04) provided the CASA CPL & medical were current & valid.
Hooroo.

Australian CPL to UK CPL? I would think that things like time in rank, spec quals and age would come into it... Mind you, with all the recent redundencies I doubt there's much chance.
Yeah, yeah. I know, about as much use as a choccy fire guard and that'll be my taxi. Hat and coat anyone please...

With the introduction of a New UK CPL this year, there may be other criteria for conversion but, it will not be valid for EASA aircraft so probably wouldn't be of much use. The days of giving a licence on a plate are long gone.

Army?
I am right in thinking the Austrailians give you a full CPL when you fly with them. I am currently in the bracket for redundancy so thought the fire might be better that the frying pan. An tips?
