Keygrip and BEagle,
Thanks. Spot on.
I just read all that slowly and carefully, and although I knew and understood it all in advance, it took me quite a long time!!!
Surely it's not THAT complicated? Is it?
Yes, it bloody is!!!!! Look how long it took for two people to explain it. And a poor guy who's been overworked and with a new baby and not had time to fly comes on here and asks if he'd got it right - and he nearly had, but "nearly" won't do with these rules... Seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to ask on here. I've known instructors and flight schools to get it wrong, or leave out a bit. And lots of people who think they know it come unstuck every year, especially with remembering to get the form signed in time having jumped through all the revalidation hoops correctly.
Anyway, how about if Keygrip's post is made a sticky, or if we start a new thread of FAQs, and put that on it?
Because CB isn't the first to have forgotten these horribly complicated revalidation/renewal rules, and I'll bet any of you anything you like that he won't be the last!
BRL?
