Hello all,

I'm looking into purchasing some small pockets to organise my flight bag, and was wondering if anyone knows the physical size of the UK PPL.

Thanks in advance,

Luke

    UK licenses are printed on sheets of A4 paper, divided in to ⅛ ths.

    This would make the folded license A7 size. (105mm x 74mm)

    Note that the UK license should not be cut, unlike an IAA license, which is separate (folded A6) sheets.

    The booklet measures approximately 101x126mm. Thickness at least 3mm (empty), and probably more than double with license & medical enclosed. Since this is a US site, add your 61.75 card, an RPAS & regular FAA certificate (total 3) – you will probably need closer to 10mm?

    Good luck.
