90 days window to renew your type rating under EASA?
I live, work and am licensed in country that is supposed to be part of the EU therefore our CAA is supposedly EASA aligned. Recently we discovered that they have imposed 90 days window for type rating renewals - if you perform OPC 1 day after expiry or more than 91 days before, it will not be acceptable to authorities and you have wasted your effort. Our OPC usually last up to six weeks in spring and autumn and we usually don't have enough TRIs to run checks and sim training in parallel so on first regular OPC after TR we used to renew the rating so to be in step with the rest of the gang. Besides, given the precarious state of our beloved company, everyone started renewing TR on every check, we just can't tell when the last one will come and six months extra on TR can make quite a difference. Now we can't do it anymore.
What I wonder is whether this is the same all across the EASAland or we turned out to be unique once again?
