4. What are ICAO and Non-ICAO Licenses?

Licenses can be classified according to whether they comply with international standards of ICAO, the International Civil Aviation Organisation, or if they do not comply with them. The licenses they comply with are known as ICAO licenses and those that do not are known as non-ICAO licenses. Licences that do not belong to ICAO are not fully recognised internationally and are therefore only valid for use within certain states or Europe; for example, the LAPL license is only valid in EASA Member States.
