Brexit and general aviation, UK leaving EASA, etc (merged)

Yes; all of those are accepted for a G-reg, for 2 years.

What you possibly can’t do – I am not sure – is fly a non matching combination e.g. a D-reg on a French PPL in UK airspace.

Why? You can fly any EASA aircraft on EASA papers anywhere in the world.

Of course you can. A French [EASA] licence (including all EASA ratings) is valid on any EASA-Aircraft registered in an EASA member state by way of automatic validation.

For non-EASA aircraft you need to consult the rules of the state of registry. If that state validates EASA licences on non-EASA aircraft and does not limit that validation to a particular territory, that is also possible.

I believe Sweden and Poland, not to mention Hungary and others “down there”, have been “looking at it”.

Leaving the EU has never been a political issue in Sweden. Just like in other countries, there are some people who might want that, but politically that questions isn’t even dead – it was never there in the first place.

Even the socialist left party which does have leaving the EU as part of its political platform has publicly stated that it will no longer pursue the issue.

Why 2 years? 2 years from when?

It is a UK CAA position, stated a long time ago e.g. here.

Two years from today, because the UK CAA said so. It has the power to make these decisions. Two years is likely an arbitrary figure, judged to be long enough (and then some) to allow people who need to transition to a UK CAA licence to do so, and also long enough to allow the possibllity of the whole thing to become moot as a result of bilateral agreements.

So for all practical purposes the position of the UK CAA is exactly the same as EU/EASA, except the symbolic 2 years.

2 years is 2 years. Also 2 years is exactly 2 years more than zero.

In aviation, the water is full of alligators, and if you can see 2 years ahead you can see for ever

I agree with Alioth above; 2 years is long enough to kick something into the tall grass. But the EU is starting from the opposite position, so they have nothing to kick into the tall grass.

This is the automatic UK CAA validation for EASA licenses for 2 years: https://publicapps.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CERTIFICATE%20OF%20VALIDATION.pdf local copy
