The EASA Aircrew Regulation (1178/2011 and 290/2012) comprises:

The legislation:

The general principle of the EU regulations is that

a pilot must have an EASA licence (or anindividual validation of a non-EU licence) to fly an

aircraft that is within the scope of EASAs

regulations. National licences will remain valid fornon-EASA aircraft.

(This means that when the EASA regulations come fullyinto force a lifetime UK PPL(A) with SEP Class Rating will

not be a valid licence for the Cessna 172, Piper Pa28, etc,

,

non-EASA aircraft).
