LAPL revalidation recording
Anyone know how to do this seeing as its not written into the licence revalidation page as per Easa PPL.
I suggested to my club member that he stick is old revalidation page into the back of his logbook and get it signed off in the normal fashion.

The LAPL does not have an aircraft rating or a revalidation page.
It is all experience based, there is no revalidation as such, it rolls continuously subject to meeting the above requirements.
FCL.140.A LAPL(A) — Recency requirements
(a) Holders of an LAPL(A) shall only exercise the privileges of their licence when they have completed, in the last 24 months, as pilots of aeroplanes or TMG:
(1) at least 12 hours of flight time as PIC, including 12 take-offs and landings; and
(2) refresher training of at least 1 hour of total flight time with an instructor.
(b) Holders of an LAPL(A) who do not comply with the requirements in (a) shall:
(1) undertake a proficiency check with an examiner before they resume the exercise of the privileges of their licence; or
(2) perform the additional flight time or take-offs and landings, flying dual or solo under the supervision of an instructor, in order to fulfill the requirements in (a).

One would like to think so however; I have seen a sample EASA LAPL with an SEP rating in it. Also most EASA licences don't include the LAPL in the privileges even though it cascades down. Last week I saw an EASA PPL with no ratings in it at all!
The LAPL is a licence a bit like the old PPL SLMG and PPL Microlight in which the rating forms part of the licence. It seems nobody at the CAA can remember that. The licence should say LAPL (Aeroplanes) (Helicopters) (Sailplanes) etc.
According to FCL135A Classes, Types and Variants should be anotated in the Limitations section of the Licence.

Another EASA LAPL gem is that if recency lapses, it can be regained by flying a Proficiency Check....
Which would be fine - except that there isn't such a thing as a LAPL Proficiency Check defined anywhere in the Aircrew Regulation.....
They admitted this error at the FCL-IF meeting in April - no doubt we will have to wait until FCL.002 for a proposal.

And even if you complete this non existent check you still need the hours

The requirement states that holders of an LAPL that do not meet the recency requirements shall:
Pass a PC with an examiner or
Fly the hours as dual or solo under the supervision of an instructor.
Does (b) allow you to do one or the other?

No, the PPL does not 'cascade down' to the LAPL. It is not a typo; the CAA did explain the reason (it's somewhat technical and is mainly a helicopter thing) - but I can't recall it.
If you don't have the LAPL recency to exercise privileges as PIC you either have to fly the non-existent LAPL Proficiency Check relevant to the aircraft class or complete the relevant shortfall of hours under supervision.
If an SEP Class Rating lapses, a CPL holder could only exercise LAPL-level SEP privileges if he/she was within the relevant validity period.
It was quite surprising how many airliner drivers at the club where I used to fly didn't know that they weren't permitted to exercise PPL-level privileges on SEP aeroplanes without a valid rating...... "I fly 747s every week - why do I need to be tested to fly a puddlejumper?" was the response from one ba Nigel when told he would need to fly a revalidation proficiency check in a PA28....

Jesus!
I fly jets for a living but I would never expect to just walk into a club and rent a PA28 without a valid SEP and currency requirements. Apart from the very perception that you were such a good pilot you could fly anything they have completely different methods of operation!
And people moan about the standard of the young jet drivers.......
