Reapplication After UAPL Expiry

In plain language

If you let all the ratings on your drone pilot licence expire, your licence becomes completely invalid. To fly again, you will have to start the application process over, including passing the theory test and practical exams.

Requirement as structured

CAAS states that if all categories and ratings on a UAPL expire, the licence becomes invalid, and the pilot must submit a new initial application, including retaking the theory test and practical assessments.

Original regulatory text

If all Class A categories and Class B ratings within the UAPL have expired, the UAPL will become invalid. Variations and proficiency checks will not be applicable. The applicant will need to submit an initial UAPL application with a valid theory test and the relevant practical assessments.
