Keeping PPL Current Hours

Hi can anyone tell me how many hours you need to do to keep your PPL Licence is it 12 ? Does the hours have to be Solo or can hours with a Intructor count as well ?

Thanks

Hours

Nothing in the first 12 months of issue,12 hours min in year 2 of which 6 must be P1.1 hour with instructor as part of the 12 and your licence signed within 3 months of the expiry of your rating (SEP for instance) by an examiner.Licence itself lasts for 5 years,it's your ratings that expire.

Think that's got it

Modelman,

I think you're absolutely right, but I think one part of what you say could be mis-interpreted. It is better to say that you need to get your licence signed any time up to 3 months prior to the expiry of your rating.

Cheers,

Expiry

Thought you you get it signed anytime between 3 months before it expired right up to the day before expiration.Looks like I have learnt something as well

Expiry (again)

Pedants corner:
Just checked with LASORS section F.'Must be signed within the 3 months prior to the rating expiry' not 'any time up to 3 months prior to the expiry of your rating' which could be read as between 12 month and 3 months and no later so I stick with what I originally said

Technically, you dont need any hours at all. You can revalidate solely by proficiency test if you're so inclined. Would be difficult to pass if you hadn't flown much within the last year though!

MM,

Much better, upon re-reading, my version wasn't much improvement upon the original, apart from introducing the word 'prior'.

I keep mine current purely via a biennial check. It only takes you a circuit or two to get back the feel of the plane.
