A license conundrum ...
Hi folks,
Bit of a complicated one that I'd appreciate a pointer on - as I'm not as up to speed on the finer points of license validity as I could be!
I reside in Canada and want to go flying - PPL level. I have a number of old licenses that may/may not have lapsed ...
- A New Zealand CPL issued in 2007 - last used in 2007
- A JAA CPL, SEP, Multi/IR issued in 2008 in Ireland - converted subsequently to an Austrian CPL.
- This Austrian CPL was issued in 2008 and last validated in 2009 with an Airline Proficiency Check.
- JAA Class 1 Medical last completed December 2009.
Anyone have a suggestion on where to start with this? Just not sure what 'picture' to present to the Canadian authorities ...
Many thanks for any help !

If you the holder of the licences don't know whether they are valid or not, how the hell do you expect anyone else to know? You have a medical and presumably you know how old you are, so you should know if its valid or not. If not, read the expiry date in the bottom right hand corner.

I think you are going to have to find yourself a friendly Canadian examiner and/or their equivalent of LASORS to sort this one out!
Although with that level of experience I suspect whatever refresher training is required wouldn't be too onerous - good luck :-)

License and medical validity and expiry dates should be on the actual license/medical certificate.
If your medical is out of date you can get it renewed in Canada. Canada will issue a PPL based on foreign licences then you will need a current medical, about $150 by a designated Doctor. (Listed on Tran Can website.) You will need currency before carrying passengers, 5 hours, 5 landings in last six months.
