Hi,
Does the following extract from CAA Releases AIC W089/2011 : Alignment of Rating Expiry Dates and Removal of Single-Seat Restrictions (issued 6th October 2011
3 Removal of 'Single Seat Only' Restriction
3.1 A ‘Single Seat Only’ restriction may be applied to a SSEA, SLMG or Microlight class rating. To have that restriction removed the
licence holder shall:
a. Undertake at least one hour of flying training with an instructor to include the core content of a General Skill Test. This may be
conducted on any class of aircraft for which the applicant has a valid Class Rating;
b. Present his/her licence to an Examiner to have the 'Single Seat Only' restriction lifted. The Examiner shall complete a new
Certificate, or Certificates of Revalidation as follows:
i. Enter the same rating revalidation details as for the existing rating(s), omitting the 'Single Seat Only' restriction(s);
ii. Enter the validity date(s) as for the current rating(s);
iii. Enter his/her examiners authorisation number and examiners signature.
(Note: Completion of this process does not revalidate the rating(s) for a new validity period).
Supercede the following extract from the FAQ section on the NPPL website:
Q How many hours each year do I need in order to keep my NPPL current?
...
at least 1 hour of flight training with an instructor. If this flight time has not been completed, the rating will be endorsed ‘Single seat only’.
...
If (c) has not been fully completed, you will be required to renew the relevant Class Rating(s) by GST.
As my interpretation is that a formal GST with an examiner is no longer required to remove the Single Seat restriction should that restriction be applied. For example if you did not have your 1 hours dual instruction flight within that 2 year period?
Incidentally, would that still be the case if you had let your NPPL rating lapse for a length of time. Still no requirement for a formal GST with an examiner?
Cheers
