RT License
Hi,
I'm getting back into PPL training after 3.5 years. I almost finished but then my airport closed!
Anyway as regards the RT exam, I passed but didn't apply for a license - would my old one still be valid or do I need to do another test (notwithstanding the fact I should probably do one anyway)
Many thanks

Sorry to hear about your predicament, I'm afriad Whopity is right, you have to re-sit the exam. I might be able to help here, I'm a CAA R/T examiner and I work (my day-job) out of Farnborough, I notice you're not far away. If you fancied we could meet up there one day soon and zip through it without making too big a song and dance over it.
Drop me a line here if thats of any help.
