PPL EASA SEP Renewal

[Level Attitude]

I have almost completed the 11 hours flying + 1 hour with instructor flying so
I can renew my rating

Rating Issue = Never held a Rating, want first one ever.
Rating Renewal = Have an expired rating and want to start its privileges anew.
Rating Revalidation = Have a valid rating and want to extend current validity
for another period.

I am assuming you are Revalidating

The pooh brown was a signature only

No it wasn't, but you've probably forgotten.

For EASA all Issues, Revalidations and Renewals require an Application to the CAA.
However not all of them require the administrative action to be taken by the CAA.

In your case you need to fill out SRG1157 (though there are other forms
which can be used) and take it, along with your Log Book, Licence,
Ratings Page and Medical to a Flight Examiner.

If you don't have a form the Examiner should aslo have them.

The Examiner will check you meet the Revalidation requirements, complete
their section on SRG1157 and carry out the administrative action
by completing and signing your Ratings page.
Your Rating is now Revalidated.

However, the Form still needs to be sent to the CAA at Gatwick for their records,
but this is the Examiners responsibility - though they may give it back to you
and ask you to post it on.

A Flight Examiner is empowered to carry out administrative action on behalf
of the CAA - An Instructor is not.

As the CAA is not carrying out the administrative action there is no
set fee. The Examiner may do it for free, or may charge you as much
as they like (ask them)

Whether an Examiner should charge for this service and, if so, how much
has been the subject of a separate thread.
