Renewal By Experience
Question
I am hoping to move to NZ in about a month. I have got in excess of the 12 hours required to renew by experience and usually I renew by doing an hour with an instructor who is an examiner and the job is done.
But, this year I won't be in the UK to do the 1 hour with my instructor/examiner and the renewal can only be within 3 months of expiry of the rating. Mine expires October 30th.
So, can I just do my hour with the instructor and then get the renewal signed in October by any examiner.
or
Do I have to do another test
or
Does anyone know a JAR examiner in NZ who could ign the paperwork for the renewal.
Ultimately I'll convert to an NZ licence I guess, so this will be a 'one off' to allow me to keep flying in the interim while I settle in.
any help, as usual, greatly appreciated.
