I understand the rules and I don't mind doing the 2hr LPC as safety always comes first, but what gets me is that after doing 2hrs why spend another hr renewing the rating going over again what I have prob already done in the previous 2hrs.......My instructor who is also my examiner has told me that it would be a min of 2.6hrs, including the 1hr rating with the 2hr LPC would make sense providing my flying skills were satisfactory.
