License Renewal
Good afternoon,
I created this post to ask for your inputs regarding license renewal.
Due to the current market situation and the fact that I am currently working outside my home country I found myself with IR license expired.
My license was originally issued in July 2011, its validity is until July 2016.
My 3 ratings expired as follows:
IR(ME) - 31-05-2013
MEP - 31-05-2013
SEP - 31-01-2013
Reading the EU 1178/2011 FCL.625 I understand that after expiring the license I have 7 years to renew it, otherwise I will have to retake the theory tests related with IR. Is this correct?
What about ATPL Theory, does it expire only after 7 years or it expires with the license validity (July 2016)?
If I decide in 2017 to renew my licenses will I only need to complete some hours of training in a certified ATO and then do the IR exam or will I also need to do some kind of theory exam?
Thank you for your inputs, if you can point me to the correct documents it would be nice.
Hope I have been clear enough with my question and that it also comes in handy for other colleagues.
