Class validation for Irish licence

[AndrewVaughan]

Hi,

I have just finalised the transfer of my UK licence (PPL SEP À) to Ireland. This will enable me to continue to fly EASA registered aircraft.

I need to revalidate my Class before July and have the requisite hours and landings but need the one hour flight with an instructor. The instructor must be either an IAA Approved instructor or an EASA examiner. I live in Sussex in the UK and am having trouble finding either not least because I'm not sure where to start looking. I've checked in with the CAA and IAA but have had no luck with them - communication is hampered by COVID-19.

Can any forum members give me any guidance?

I'm unable to send or respond to PMs as I'm on probation in this forum so my messaging capacity is just one message!
