Currently, the short answer is
No.
Most people agree that, originally, Part-FCL was badly written and EASA are planning to change the LAPL Recency Rules to include an Option (3) in (a): "To have passed a Skill Test or Proficiency Check" within the previous 24 months.
As far as I am aware this has not yet been actioned.
At the moment:
FCL.140.A LAPL(A) — Recency requirements
(b) Holders of an LAPL(A) who do not comply with the requirements in (a) shall:
- (1) undertake a proficiency check with an examiner before they resume the exercise of the privileges of their licence; or
- (2) perform the additional flight time or take-offs and landings, flying dual or solo under the supervision of an instructor, in order to fulfil the requirements in (a).
Which means that a Proficiency Check "undertaken" (should actually say "passed") on one day would enable an LAPL holder to fly that day -
but not the next, or subsequent, days
unless they now do meet the Recency Requirements stated in (a).
Therefore, probably better to regain Recency by flying solo, or dual, (as required) under the supervision of an Instructor.
