Expired JAA PPL
Unlike anyone else on here, I have an expired CAA-issued JAA PPL, which states a validity period of five years: "This licence shall remain in force from 04 APR 2000 until 03 APR 2005 unless revoked, suspended or varied". Originally given up for medical reasons but time, the PMD, and my homebuilt aircraft, will now allow me back up in the air.
I'm super keen to get my currency back; I went up for a c. 5 hours with an instructor a few weeks ago with my eye on an NPPL given the JAR expiry date of 2005, and they considered me imminently ready for a NPPL GFT/skills test, but not sure that's the right route, e.g. can I get my JAR PPL renewed/revalidated somehow, does anyone know?
The CFI at the school I recently visited couldn't work it out... The CAA don't seem much help either. I'd really appreciate some advice.
Thanks all
