OCA grace provisions

[flying ginge]

Can somebody clear up the following for me?

135.611 Crew member – grace provisions
If a crew member who is required to take a test or a flight check completes
the test or flight check within one calendar month of the day on which it is
required, that crew member shall be deemed to have completed the test or
check on the date it is required to be completed.

Does this mean if my check is due say 18/4 and I complete it 18/5 I've completed it within the "one calender month", or is my interpretation all wrong? Cheers

There are similar provisions in the Civil Aviation Rules, here, which came into effect 1 Jan last year. Not surprising that it's similar, in view of the fact that we'd used New Zealanders to devise our new rules, based on their own. We're wrestling with that problem, among others, but there's nothing to say that you can exercise the privileges while the qualification isn't current.
