TR renewal after lapse
Hi.
Could a learned colleague clear something up for me?
I currently have an EASA licence with no valid type rating, the last expired 5 months ago (SET)
My last MET turbine expired in Nov 2014
I have been flying on a non EASA licence for the last 12 months or so.
I now want to add a MET to my EASA licence (UK)
As I interpret the regs, I will need 3 hours plus an LPC.
However, as I don't have a current MET active. Will they demand a full initial MET course and LPC ?
or will my past experience (3 MET type ratings since initially licensed under JAR) allow me to do the shorter course of 3 plus test - for a lapse of more than 3 years?
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advance. It's a Sunday and I can't contact anyone in the know!
Jim.
