SEP Expired
I have a question regarding my SEP Rating on my licence.
It expired in March 2012 and although I have completed the relevant hours for revalidation - I was stupid and did not get an examiner to sign my licence to revalidate by experience. (I am working in the Middle East and have been working on the relevant licence here).
My question is how do I renew under EASA now? Do I have to go to an approved ATO to do training? Or can I just fly with an examiner? I am instructing in the Middle East, so am in regular flying practice.
Thanks in advance for any information.

As you are in current flying practice, and have done sufficient SEP flying to have qualified for a revalidation by experience, they may well be happy to do so without any training.

An Examiner cannot test for a renewal unless you are in possession of a 'Required Training Completed' form.
Your first port of call is therefore an ATO who will assess what training you require.
If, as you say, you are in regular SEP flying practice (on a Middle Eastern Licence?) then I would expect them to assess you as requiring no training and to issue you a form to that effect and, probably, to arrange your test flight with an examiner for you. Of course, once you have the form you can go and find any examiner you like (provided they are Licensed by, or have been briefed by, the Competent Authority that holds your Licensing records)
NB: Do you have an actual EASA Licence? Or a JAR Licence (which is only valid for five years).
If JAR I would recommend you take the opportunity with the examiner to confirm your paperwork is correct and then to apply for the non-expiring EASA Licence.
Almost impossible to have qualified to revalidate in March 2014 as Rating expired in March 2012

I have a JAR licence (I'm instructing on a Middle Eastern licence) and I did actually renew my ME/IR in November and completed the EASA form as suggested - for reasons unbeknown to myself I didn't renew my SEP whilst I was there! (To be honest I didn't think I'd need my SEP as I'm now trying to get into the airlines and also I couldn't afford the extra cost)
Regarding the revalidation by experience I was referring to the period between 2010 and 2012.
In fact I may now wait until the summer, as my FI has lapsed - which means I'll have the flight test and seminar to attend - so hopefully I can kill two birds with one stone!

What was the EASA form you completed?
EASA MEP / MEIR Rating Renewal, EASA Licence Application or both?
