1. NO exams - not even an oral as your SEP Class Rating is less than 5 years after expiry (Nov 2003)!
WRONG! read LASORS 2007 F1.5 RENEWAL OF SINGLE-ENGINE PISTON – SEP (LAND), TMG CLASS RATINGS, point iii:
"Pass an oral theoretical knowledge examination
conducted by the Examiner as part of the skill
test."


2. Take sufficient training, then pass the LST and complete this form: http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/SRG1119.pdf. This is NOT the same as the original PPL Skill Test, but will include a little navigation as well as the usual GH.
WRONG! - read LASORS 2007 F1.5 RENEWAL OF SINGLE-ENGINE PISTON – SEP (LAND), TMG CLASS RATINGS, point ii:
"Complete the Skill Test in accordance with
Appendices 1 & 3 to JAR-FCL 1.240 with a JAR
Authorised Examiner. " Note that this says "SKILL TEST", not Proficiency Check.

and read Appendix 3 to JAR-FCL 1.240, description of the Skill Test.

5. Send the LST form, licence re-issue request form and medical certificate to the CAA, together with this payment form: http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/FORSRG1187.pdf and payment of £65 to the CAA. Your licence should be sent to you after 10 working days.
To clarify, the fee is for the LICENSE renewal, NOT the rating renewal - the latter is FREE providing it is LESS than 5 years after expiry.

If the RATING expired more than 5 years, then there is an ADDITIONAL fee to pay.

I hope this clears the recently muddied waters!
