Alert: SW2026/367

REMINDER: LAPL(A) holders rating transition deadline (1st October 2026)

LAPL(A) holders must comply with FCL.740.A by the 1st October 2026. Pilots must have transitioned their rating to a fixed 24-month validity by this date and had their licence endorsed. Failure to do so would mean the pilot would need to meet the renewal requirements detailed in FCL.740.

As of 24th August 2026, the CAA has written directly to LAPL(A) licence holders by e-mail reminding them of this requirement.

Further information on how to transition can be found on the LAPL page.
