(dull) Licence renewal query
I have a JAR-PPL. My SEP (land) is valid until 15/05/04. My IMC rating is valid until 14/12/04. I understand that an IMC revalidation counts as the required one hour, so that seems like a reasonable way to go. However, I can't find any reference to when the IMC revalidation can take place. Can I do it now, effectively more than 6 months early? I realise that this will waste 6 months because my next revalidation will be due 25 months after this one. But given that I would probably want to do instrument flying for my one hour type rating renewal anyway, I might as well do the IMC revalidation if I can.
