Aerobatic rating

[hum]

Hi Guys,

Could anyone here please say if this new EASA rating is to be renewed/revalidated like, say, an SEP(L) or an IR?

Are there any currency requirements to exercise the rating?

Is there to be a Flight Test for the issue of the rating, or is it to be issued on the recommendation of an FTO. I understand grandfathering rights are being sorted..

Cheers :-)
