SEP revalidation by experience before second year
Is it possible to revalidate a SEP rating by experience during the first year of the rating?
This would of course mean 'resetting' the validity period to run from the end of the month in which the revalidation takes place, and achieving the requisite hours etc.
Example would be someone who has done enough hours in the first year, then towards the end of that year is sent overseas for a year and wouldn't be able to fly enough during the second year. Could they revalidate early, to reset the two year validity period and avoid having to renew, rather than revalidate, on return?
