At present 'refresher training' is at the discretion of the FIC instructor, and can be conducted on a one-to-one basis as ground and/or flight training or by seminar as per the LAA Pilot Coaching Scheme.
I consider that the current system introduced by EASA is sufficient, where an Assessment of Competence is mandatory at least every other revalidation. I would be interested to know if the proposal of further requirements have been driven by accident statistics or just committee opinion.
