This does not provide a clear solution for the debate, but what it does explain:
- After the period of validity has ended, the rating or certificate has lapsed, and it is the privileges that need to be renewed. It does not state that you need to reobtain said rating, which I assume to be the case once you are no longer the holder of a rating.
- Revalidation includes a reference to the holder, but it is the privileges that you continue to be able to exercise through this revalidation.
- These definitions do not say that you do not hold a rating anymore after it has lapsed.
Hope this helps...
It certainly does. Simple and to the point. Thank you.
That's quite an accusatory statement
It is not my place to accuse anybody of anything. I'm sorry you thought my remark was pointed at you Arrow Flyer, it wasn't.
