Liam, hanging my arse out, but here goes!
From LASORS C1.4 for PPL issue:
The Skill Test shall be taken within 6 months of completing the flight instruction. All sections of the Skill Test must be completed within 6 months. The Skill Test has a validity of 12 months for the purpose of licence issue. I thought the ground exams have a 2 year validity from the first one, does the R/T exam tie in with the ground exam validity period?
Standing by for a rocket, all welcome!
Cheers, Jim
