Beagle,
You refer to
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/SRG1119.pdf -
If you actually read it (rather than just sign it), you would notice the following:
3) Revalidation or Renewal by Proficiency Check or Skill Test:
Pass
i) For revalidation of a rating, or renewal of a rating not exceeding 5 years from the date of expiry, sign the applicant’s “Rating -
Certificate of Revalidation” page and send completed Form SRG\1119 to PLD. No payment to PLD is required.
ii) For renewal of a rating exceeding 5 years from the date of expiry, send completed Form SRG\1119 to PLD for licensing action.
A new rating will be issued by PLD; examiners must not sign the applicant’s “Rating - Certificate of Revalidation” page.
Payment by the applicant to PLD is required for this service (see reference 5g).
Amazingly, this is exactly what I pointed out, but you apparently dispute, and confuse - bizarrely - with whether or not an oral theoretical exam is required.
Perhaps you would oblige us all by publishing the references to support your interpretation? You haven't done so yet.
