Would I be correct in saying that in order to renew my SEP rating, 2 years after obtaining my PPL initially I'd need to do the following?:
1. In the 3 months prior to the expiry of my SEP rating, take a proficiency check with an examiner who will then sign me off as competent, this is then valid for a further 24 months.
OR
2. In the second year after gaining my license/SEP rating, ensure I have completed 12 hours including 6 P1, 12 take-offs and landings. 1 hour (all at once, not cumulative) with an instructor. I would then qualify for a revalidation signature, again valid for 24 months.
As I've already fulfilled the requirements for the second method, all I really need is an examiners signature, after he's obviously cross-checked my log with the hours I've flown with my club?
