ORS4 1385: Any rating valid on, or after 16th March to before 31st October can be extended to 22nd November - all you need to do is:
- Receive (ground based) refresher training - which can be carried out remotely
- Get the instructor / examiner to sign your licence and fill in SRG 1100F
In a similar manner LAPL rolling validity period can be extended from 24 to 32 months.

Lots of good information / pointers in: https://www.ontrackaviation.com/Covi...28_04_2020.pdf - the slides from a webinar.

NOTE: The CAA keep updating / replacing the ORS4 - I think the ones listed are still valid

Of course it doesn't help if you have no access to an aircraft AND runway

P.S. Really liked your sensible, balanced post
Thanks for the info. Much appreciated! No point in doing it just now with club and airfield shut but good to know.

Black Sun - agree, the Govt in the link above basically admit there's negligible risk with GA but due to the blanket nature of the restrictions there's no room for manoeuvre. Common sense is still oot the windae right now.
