Validation
I have another question on this subject and looking for some help as struggling to make sense of the regulations. Background: I had a UK issued EASA ATPL before brexit and the last time I renewed the IR on it was 2015. I have since renewed my IR in the UK last month and now have a UK only ATPL. I have the right to live and work in both the UK and Europe and I don't need an EASA ATPL right now, but might need it again in later life. Anyway I don't want to do those dreaded exams ever again so my question is if I nip over to Europe and do an EASA/IR test validated on the basis of my valid UK ATPL /medical, will that reset my 7 year clock for my EASA exams even though I will not have an actual EASA ATPL to record this against? I'm not talking about SOLI out just now, purely validation to keep my exams from expiring and buying some time. I know the validation is only for 1 year but not sure how the 7 year time for IR will be affected.
Thanks in advance. A
