It's valid but NOT as any part of the required instructional element of the minimum hours unless the person in the other seat was a current EASA instructor.

Edit to give a bit more detail - and do note that this all assumes that the aircraft you flew PUT in would be SEP Class if you'd flown it in the UK - so, not a microlight or similar.

As you'll know, Revalidation by Experience for your SEP Class Rating requires:

- Total of 12 hours in the final 12 months of 2 years since your last Revalidation/Renewal (including 12 takeoffs & landings)
OF WHICH:
- A minimum of 6 hours must be PIC.
- A minimum of 1 hour must be with an (EASA) instructor*

So that gives you a minimum of 7 hours for which the Brazilian PUT cannot count. But you can count it for 1 of the remaining 5 hours needed to achieve your overall minimum of 12.


*or a Pass in a (EASA) Proficiency Check; but from context I don't think this is concerning you.
