Language regarding the validity of the ATPL/CPL exams is clear, it is now 5 years, it doesn't matter what your result sheet says, its just old stationery. Count 5 years from the date on the result sheet.

What has AIRAC cycle got to do with piece of regulation.
The rules were amended by GSR No. 297(E) dated 8-04-2010,
on 08-04-2010 validity of all CPL/ATPL exams became 5 years from date of the declaration of results.
If an exam result was declared a year before 08-04-1200, that exam will have remaining validity of 4 years on the aforementioned date.
Does pilot training put some kind of premium on the quality of ignorance?
