Licence fees and costs
EASA licence holders
If you hold an EASA/Part-FCL or JAR licence issued by an EASA member state other than the UK, you must send us a
certified copy of your EASA or JAR licence with your application. This is so that we can contact the organisation that
issued your licence and arrange for your licence to be transferred to the UK CAA. All EASA licences you hold must be
issued by only 1 EASA member state.
If you have trained at an ATO not approved by the CAA
If you completed your training at an ATO that was
- directly approved by EASA rather than by the CAA, or
- approved by the national aviation authority of an EASA member state other than the UK
then you will also need to provide a certified copy of the ATO’s approval certificate. Your ATO will be able to
provide this on request.
Skill tests or proficiency checks conducted by non-UK EASA-approved examiners
If the examiner for your skill test was approved by an EASA member state other than the UK, you will need to provide
additional documents to support your application. These must be sent by post to the CAA, so you may wish to consider
using our paper-based application route. The additional documents required are certified copies of
the following:
- Your skill test examiner’s licence and examiner authorisation certificate
- An email showing test notification has been authorised by the UK CAA
- The relevant simulator approval certificate if you have used a simulator
Additional documentation for applications based on UK military service
If you are applying for a licence under the Military Accreditation Scheme (MAS), you will also need to include
- a completed form SRG 2133

- the Special Qualifications page
- the last few pages of your military flying
The copies of the logbook pages must be stamped and certified by either your commanding officer or the head of
training at the ATO where any additional training for your application has taken place.
You also need to state accurately on the online form how many hours you have flown as PIC/P1Capt or
PICUS/1st Pilot non-Capt.
Instrument ratings
If your application for initial issue, renewal or revalidation requires instrument flight hours, we will also need a
certified copy of your licence’s Instrument Ratings page.
Converting from a third-country ICAO-compliant licence
If you are applying for an EASA pilot licence on the basis of already holding a third-country ICAO-compliant
licence, you will need to include the following additional documentation with your form:
- a certified copy of your current and valid third country ICAO licence
- original logbooks, or certified copies, showing that you have met the flying experience requirements for the
licence or rating you are applying for and that you are in current flying practice
- a certified copy of your current and valid third-country medical certificate (the one that validates your
third-country licence)
- form

If your ICAO licence does not show the validity dates of the ratings, please submit certified copies of logbook
pages showing the validity and test dates.
