Whopity,

In the case under discussion the person does hold a valid Licence, so this
exception does not apply. Even if it did, as solo flight is not required for
SEP Rating renewal, I cannot see how that could count as "flying training
in accordance with the EASA Aircrew Regulation"
It would have to rely on the ATO and Instructor deciding that any training
they liked was valid for SEP renewal - and, given that authorising solo
flight is only specifically allowed for Licence training, deciding themselves
which Instructor, presumably an FI, was the most "appropriate".
The currency requirements for a LAPL (on a rolling 24 month basis) can be met by flying solo under the supervision of an FI. So logic would say that the Sam would be true for SEP on a PPL. But then again, we re talking EASA not LOGIC!
