Your ppl license lasts for five years however you single engine piston rating lasts for two years. The single engine piston rating can be renewed by two ways..
- 12 hours in the second year of validity and must include at least one hour with an instructor
- Your could also just do a check ride with an examiner in the second year which absolves you from the 12 hour rule.
Not sure about the rest of ratings or license BUT RATINGS ARE NOT THE SAME AS LICENSES
*****REMEBER THAT *******
and also if it expires it will not be a renewal check but a revalidation check ride... just to note!!!
--- Your ppl license is valid from the day the CAA issue it, but your single engine piston rating is valid from the day you pass your ppl skills test...
