I've been looking around for the sale of ex-military jets, to own and fly, namely an Aero Vodochody L-39 Albatros, and so out of interest had a look at the CAA website for infomation on licenses, training and general ownership etc, and across the terms EASA and non-EASA licenses, I rougly understood the meaning of them, but am unsure as to which license I would need to own and L-39.

Whilst asking this, I would be appreciative if anyone could give me some general tips and advice on owning an ex-militatry jet trainer and the kind of courses/training I'd have to undertake to own and fly it. Thank you in advance.

Please edit if I have left something important out or anything like that.

According to CAP 632

6.1 Ex-military aircraft on the UK register with a ‘Permit-to-Fly’ may be piloted by either private or professional licence holders. Pilots must hold a current civil licence with a current civil class or type rating appropriate to the ex military type[s] being flown or where no civil type rating exists, an Aircraft Type Rating Exemption from the need to hold a type rating. Any questions relating to licence matters should be addressed to CAA PLD

...

  • Any turbine-powered aeroplane - To fly an ex-military turbine-powered aeroplane a pilot must hold an Aircraft Type Rating Exemption. See paragraph 6.7 for details of obtaining an Aircraft Type Rating Exemption

and so on.

Ex-military aircraft are non-EASA aircraft. Ref
