Not Sure if my licence is valid
Hi all,
I have a ME/IR CPL, recently renewed my MEP IR.
however the MEP was on the back of the licence, the examiner signed it up on the front but i was recently pulled up on it in an interview, im assuming i need to fill out a form to get the MEP removed of the back. any idea which form?
the Examiner is away at the moment and i start my TR next month.
Also while taking to a friend about this and comparing licence i have been issued a 'United Kingdom Commercial Pilots Licence' where as my friend has a 'European Union' licence.
My licence was issued at the end of 2014.
has any one a guidance on how to sort this? as the examiner is still away so can discuss this with him directly.
Many thanks

First thing is don't confuse licence and ratings.
My understanding is that Examiners cannot bring an expired rating from the back of your licence to the front anymore. You now have to pay a nice man (or woman) at Gatwick to do that.

As the rating was on the back of the licence, that implies that when you had the licence re-issued the rating had expired, only valid ratings are place in Section XII. The Examiner should not sign the licence if the rating is not in Section XII

Which forms did your examiner send to the CAA, as you are required to sign them you should know?

Information notice IN 2014-109 allows an examiner to sign a licence if the rating is more than 3 years expired which was not allowed before, but the rating MUST be on the front of the licence, he certainly can't bring it from the back.
And course completion certificate is required etc.
