Hi guys,
I currently hold a JAA fATPL as well as a foreign CPL. I'm flying on my foreign CPL outside of Europe and am wondering whether it would be cheaper to let my JAA ME IR lapse until I need it or to keep it current. Our friends down in Gatwick are not that helpful.
According to LASORS a revalidation occurs when the rating is still current and a renewal occurs when the rating has lapsed but for less than 5 years. After 5 years apparently some other rules apply... No doubt it's more expensive!
Any advice including current costs and flight schools would be greatly appreciated. I obviously do not want to have to do an initial IR all over again! :)
Thanks again,
T
