Licence Revalidation
This has probably been discussed before but I have not been able to trace it so, if necessary, apologies for raising it again.
I have been asked by a pilot what he needs to do to reactivate his lapsed PPL(A). He has a lifetime UK PPL although he has not exercised its privileges for more than 25 years. He also has a current PPL(H). I have read LASORS and reached the following conclusions.
Section C5 referring to the lifetime UK PPL indicates that revalidation of the appropriate rating (SEP) is specified in Section F. This appears to suggest that he proceeds as someone who has been unable to renew a SEP Rating for a period exceeding five years. He is required to undertake sufficient training at his discretion(!!) to pass the Skill Test. He then completes the Skill Test including an oral theoretical knowledge examination conducted as part of the Skill Test. Then the appropriate form is sent off to the CAA along with the fee. He will, of course, in addition require a current medical certificate.
Is this correct or can someone put me right?
