This is really strange and frustrating. I've heard a lof of different stories ... Today I had my class 1 renewal and I asked the Doc himself about class 1 to 2 reversion. He said that after class 1 expires it's not automaticaly converted to class 2. Therefore solo PPL flying with expired JAA class 1 is illegal. (?) I really don't know what to believe. Can anybody point a paragraph in official jar-fcl docs about this issue? I can't find anything. Thanx.
