Just adding to this, as my MEP rating has lapsed for longer than 3 years I have been advised by a UK FTO that I must complete the MEP course again which is all 7 hours plus test!
In all fairness I will not be flying a MEP privately anytime soon so my question is can I just renew my SEP IR which keeps me under the 7 year limit or would I have to renew my MEIR within 7 years as I completed this course originally?
I am quite happy just renewing a SEIR for SEP flying but wanted to know if I have to renew my MEIR before the 7 year limit or I will lose it and have to do the MEIR course again?
Thanks
