the IMC instructor did not sign my SEP review.
maxred,
I should hope not. An Instructor is not authorised to sign to Revalidate a Rating.
Did you mean your IMC Examiner? In which case, did you ask them to also Revalidate your SEP at the same time as your IMC? Examiners are not mind readers!
After your (successful?) IMC Test, assuming all other requirements had been met, you could have gone to ANY Examiner to do the paperwork to Revalidate your SEP Rating 'By Experience'. Why didn't you, before your SEP ran out?
Whole escapade cost me 500.00 quid. I was not that happy
But whose fault was it? An (unfortunately expensive) lesson for you I believe.
get everything sorted on the THREE month window allowed....
bose,
Under EASA there is no 'three month window' for SEP Revalidation by Experience. Once the required second year experience is gained get the Rating signed up asap.
Unfortunately, on National Licences, an SEP Rating can still only be Revalidated during the 3 months prior to expiry.
A bit of a 'nuisance' for those who have both a Part-FCL and a National Licence !
