Ok. Let's create an example. Bloggs didn't fly at all in the first year, then did his 12hours etc. etc. in the first 3 months of the second year. How much longer than the end of the second year would you suggest he should be able to revalidate without an LPC?
...revalidation after the expiry date (within a reasonable time frame) sounds sensible to me.
Providing revalidating after expiry adds no more time to the next revalidation period (ie it runs from the old expiry, not the new revalidation), then when the signature is obtained makes no difference to Blogg's flying safety.
Cos thems the rules, unfortunately!
Yes, indeed. I'm just suggesting that it's an unfortunate interpretation of the EASA regulation.
I'll declare an interest having once missed one of the very many dates I seem to have to keep track of flying three classes of aircraft across two licenses. The result was unnecessarily complicated.
