    Please note that the ATCO (Air Traffic Control) licence does not entitle to the operator’s certificate – it is essential that you provide the certificate of achievement of the FPS examination. If you do not have that certificate anymore, you can ask an equivalent document to the FPS. A copy of your PPL, ATPL... does not entitle to the operator’s licence. The ELP is not sufficient either.

  • FAQ

    Since the entry into force of Brexit on 1 January 2021, the European rules on roaming no longer apply in the United Kingdom.

    This means that when you make a call, send text messages or surf the Internet from the United Kingdom (to an EU country), consumer prices may be higher than in an EU country given that operators are allowed to apply a roaming surcharge.

    For now, however, certain operators are still applying the “Roam-like-at-home” regime in the United Kingdom on a voluntary basis.

    We advise you to check with your operator to find out whether it still applies the "Roam-like-at-home” regime in that country.
