When I renew my jar ppl licence after 5 years then I only need to have a valid class 1 or 2 medical and a SEP Rating which has not expired by more than 5 years ie it doesnt have to be valid at the time of renewing a ppl licence??? True or False?
TRUE, you need to use CAA form SRG1102
SRG1102: Private/Professional Flight Crew Licence Renewal - Application | Publications | CAA
within which section #4 contains
In order to renew your licence, you are required to have held a valid aircraft rating for any type/class rating that has not expired by more
than 5 years*, and a medical certificate appropriate to the licence being re-issued valid for the first day of issue of the new licence.
you will also need to send them a copy of your medical certificate and most importantly a payment form SRG1187
