Oh for gods sake. Is there a smilie for exasperation?
This is pretty simple. If the OP comes to me as Head of Training at an FTO/TRTO and examiner. I will look at his licence see that it only expired in the last 18 months and ask if they want to do some refresher training or go direct for the test. I will give briefings as appropriate on the aircraft and the test and conduct it as a combined test.
I will issue an SRG1119 which according to the CAA is the 'certificate'.
Tell me what is complicated about that process?
On planet earth we do not need to make a drama out of a simple excerise as some way of taking an endless punt at what we don't like about the EASA regs.
That is the word from the CAA on how they see it working. If it changes in the future I will change accordingly. I won't try and make it out to be some sort of hugely expensive insurmountable mountain which with due respect is what comes across in everyone of your posts. That and the fact that you feel very bitter towards the EASA process. It's not perfect, it needs some ammending but it is where we are now and we have to learn to work with it until it gets changed rather than constantly bitching about it.
