General Aviation Pilot Licensing Review Phase 2: Aeroplanes - Consultation Closes 22 May 2024

In October 2022, the CAA published CAP2335 (General Aviation Pilot Licensing & Training Simplification – Phase 1: Strategic Direction) as part of a 3 Phase program to simplify training and licensing for the UK’s General Aviation (GA) Sector.

The subsequent GA community response (CAP2532) showed strong support in several key areas for updating our current legislation with regards to Licensing and Training.

AOPA has been fully engaged with the process and made significant contributions to the proposals and community response. 

This consultation (Phase 2) will explore these key areas in more detail, to ensure that the CAA are working towards the goals of the community whilst maintaining legislative compliance within these areas. The consultaion closes on 22 May 2024.

The outcome of this consultation will help finalise the proposals for the simplification of licensing and training. The final proposals and legal drafting will be developed with the Department for Transport and presented for legislative amendment Spring 2025.
