Renewal vs re-validation
Hi all,
I have never been able to figure out the differences between renewal and re-validation of medical certificate at the UK CAA. If I'm not mistaken, renewal applies to the 40 days prior to expiry date, while re-validation applies during 2 years after the expiry date. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
But on the technical level of medical examinations, what are the exact differences? Is it true that one of them is less strict than the other for class 1 medicals?
Would appreciate your inputs.
Cheers.

Alright, I have got the correct link above, but it doesn't specify any difference in the medical examinations for either cases!

And it doesn't say how long it can be expired ? For instance, if it expired 4 years ago, is it still a renewal or is there a point at which an "initial" needs to be done again (I know the term "initial" is exactly what it means, but I'm wondering if there comes a point that the CAA treat you as if you've never had a medical before.......)
