Thanks everyone,
I'm looking to renew / revalidate / reissue my ATPL(A). It comes due next Jan by my remote location means I need to start the ball rolling sooner rather than later to account for the logistics (i.e. I will probably need to return to the UK for a JAA Medical, unless I can find someone here, which is my next job on the internet)
I have been flying military in the last 5 years (something I'll need to clarify with the CAA I guess as the jet was not UK military......) so we'll see what the outcome of that is.
I'm just looking to be well placed in the next few years or so as I come up on retirement so that all my hard work getting the ATPL 4 years back doesn't go to waste as it would if I let it expire.
Thanks for the pointer Beags. Will revisit LASORS with a keener eye for the sections mentioned.
(BTW, the C-17 and Tornado jibe (or gibe....) was just that, after hearing the same sob stories from those on type that I work with
)
