Flight with instructor
Can any of you chaps save me the cost of a call to the CAA and tell me if I can satisfy the one hour flight with an instructor requirement with a recent LPC/OPC(IR) having been flown on my day job aeroplane. (a jet)

Yes. Entirely acceptable - see LASORS section F1.4: "This instructional flight may be replaced by any other flight that has been undertaken with a JAR-FCL or UK Military instructor" (e.g your LPC/OPC(IR)). Moreover whichever Examiner conducted your LPC/OPC(IR) should have known that and should also have signed your licence to revalidate your SEP Class Rating.
Any doubts, PM me and I'll be happy to sort things out.

While the regs do not appear to rule out rotary checks I do know a Rotary Pilot who contacted the CAA to ask this particular question.
The answer was that the check had to be on a fixed wing aircraft hence rotary checks were not acceptable and he is now undertaking his biennials in a Gp A Machine.
Knowing how answers from the CAA vary dependant upon whom one talks to does anyone else have any experience of this?
