EASA regulations with lapsed FI rating
Hi chaps,
I have a lapsed FI rating (by a couple of years ) and am wondering how easy is it to get back now we have EASA. The main question is that due to it being a rating, is it now lost if it expires by more than 3 years, which I now understand is the case with type ratings under EASA.
Thanks,
Tom

It is no longer a rating. It is a certificate.
From Annex I (Part-FCL) to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 ("The Aircrew Regulation"):

So in theory I could have a current JAA ATPL and have a 10 year + lapsed JAA FI (unrestricted) rating (or cert now under EASA) and all I would need to do is an assesment and seminar?
Thanks for your replies,
Tom

Would need to check but if the FI certificate has lapsed by more than 5 years there is a requirement for refresher training from FIC approved instructor - not sure whether this has changed with all the EASA nonsense
