The SEP class rating revalidation requires an instructional flight (or flights) totalling 1 hour with an instructor, plus the requirements for another 11 hours and 12 takeoffs and landings within the second year of validity in a SEP. Revalidation can also be as the result of a flight test during the 2nd year. So a type rating conducted on a SEP of mass less than 5700kg would count. I'm intrigued, though, to discover what type of SEP less than 5700kg requires a type rating.
I've had current airline pilots and SET pilots come to fly the PA28 and because their SEP rating has expired, they have to renew with an examiner, with all the attendant proficiency check, training as required, Course Completion Certificate,skills test and Examiner's report.
900 hours on an Airbus or a Pilatus PC12 in the previous 12 months doesn't count at all to SEP requirements...
