Logging Time
Hi Modelman,
It seems that you have two issues. One is the medical, which is covered by posters above. I'm assuming that you don't need to renew the Licence (JAA 5 Yr PPL(A)), which can't be renewed on the basis of a Declaration. The other issue is logging sufficient time to meet the revalidation by experience requirements of the SEP rating.
As an alternative to the NPPL route, you might consider continuing with your PPL(A). If when you get to November you don't have the hours to make the experience requirements (remember to include the Instructional Hour), you could revalidate the rating by check (LPC). This may turn out to cost no more than the instructional hour.
The renewal by check must be done with an examiner, rather than an FI or CRI. M'learned friend bose-x comes highly recommended by those who have take check rides with him, although he's too modest to admit it on here.
I hope you manage to keep flying and keep your eye in.
Safe Flying,
Richard W.
