SEP Class Rating re-validation - Important!
LASORS 2004 stated the following for re-validating a SEP Class Rating by Experience:
• If revalidating by flying experience, and
providing the examiner signs the Certificate of
Revalidation page within the 12 months prior to
the rating expiry, the validity of the revalidated
rating will be calculated from the date of expiry
of the preceding rating
However, the latest 2005 version now states:
• If revalidating by flying experience, and
providing the examiner signs the Certificate of
Revalidation page within the 3 months prior to
the rating expiry, the validity of the revalidated
rating will be calculated from the date of expiry
of the preceding rating.
So what of those folk who'd already re-validated their SEP Class Ratings more than 3, but less than 12 months from the date of the previous rating expiry date? Are they now, as the latest GASIL mentions, flying illegally? Ironic if they are - through following the CAA's own LASORS 2004 guidance!
Have sent an e-torpedo to the Belgrano and will note the reply with interest.
A topic which I'm sure would get G-KEST's beard a-bristling!
