I'm in the process of preparing for the LST (UK CAA PPL, my SEP rating expired in 2003), the club I'm flying with are saying I need to re-sit the 7 exams I originally took during my PPL training days but I cannot see a requirement for this in LASORS, am I right in thinking I just have to do an oral exam as part of the skills test and not all of the PPL exams?
Where licence holders have been unable to renew a SEP
(Land) or TMG Class Rating for a period
exceeding 5
years
from the date of expiry*, they will be required to
complete the following requirements:
i. The CAA will require no mandatory additional
training. Applicants should complete training at their
own discretion sufficient to pass the Skill Test
ii. Complete the Skill Test in accordance with
Appendices 1 & 3 to JAR-FCL 1.240 with a JAR
Authorised Examiner. For renewal of an Instrument
rating, if held, please refer to Section E1.5.
iii. Pass an oral theoretical knowledge examination
conducted by the Examiner as part of the Skill Test.
iv. The LST/LPC form, completed as a renewal, should
be sent to CAA PLD for endorsement, together with
the appropriate fee as per the Scheme of Charges.
v. The Examiner must make no licence entry..
*Where an applicant can show that they are
currently flying under the privileges of an ICAO
licence, and are flying the same aircraft type/class
within their UK or JAR-FCL licence, the renewal
requirements will be based on the expiry date of the
rating currently being exercised.
