PPL exam validity period
 

I am a PPL student, unfortunately I was taken ill last year before I had a chance to finish my PPL and am only just returning to fitness. I took and passed all of the theoretical examinations right at the beginning of my training, the first exam passed in April 2005 and finial exam passed in the August 2005. Are my exams still valid or are they now expired? I have been told two separate things. The CAA LASORS document states:</SPAN>



An applicant for a JAR-FCL PPL(A) is required to pass
theoretical knowledge examinations in the following
subjects:
1. Aviation Law & Operational Procedures
2. Human Performance & Limitations
3. Navigation & Radio Aids
4. Meteorology
5. Aircraft (General) & Principles of Flight
6. Flight Performance & Planning
7. JAR-FCL Communications (PPL)
• These examinations contain multiple-choice
questions for the most part and are normally
conducted under the auspices of a Flight
Training Organisation or a Registered Facility.
An applicant shall be deemed to have
successfully completed the theoretical
examinations for the JAR-FCL PPL(A) when
awarded a pass in all of the above
examinations within a period of 18 months
counted from the end of the calendar month
when the applicant first attempted the
examination. A pass will be accepted for the
grant of a JAR-FCL PPL(A) during the 24
months from the date of successfully
completing all of the theoretical knowledge
examinations.


This suggests to me the exam passes are still valid or am I missing something? Cheers….Matt

Your exam passes are valid until August 2007.

You need to finish all training, pass the PPL Skill Test and apply for your PPL before the August exam expiry date.

Good luck!
