PPL Revalidation time Running out

[Mach Jump]

Can someone tell me under EASA what all you have to do to Revalidate your PPL if you don't do the 12 hours in time?

Yes, you will have to do a 'Proficiency Check' with an Examiner.

Do I have to do a full PPL Skills Test again or is it just some parts?

The 'Proficiency Check' contains all the elements of your original 'Skills Test' but in a slightly different form.

Is there a Nav Exercise and Diversion?

There is a navigation element, but not as elaborate as the one in your original 'Skills Test'. It will probably consist of a single leg, which you will fly for as far as it takes to satisfy the Examiner that you can still navigate using a logical form of 'ded. reckoning' and fly accurately.

Is it better to wait to it expires or can I do it before the due date which would mean I am valid for another 24 months?

Better to do it before your Class Rating expires. After it expires you will have to have the Head of Training of an ATO/RTF (Flying School) certify that you have completed any necessary re-training before you can take the 'Proficiency Check'.

If you 'Revalidate' within the 3 months before expiry, the new Class Rating will run for 2 years from the expiry of your old one, plus the remainder of the month.

If you 'Renew' after expiry, the new Class Rating will run for 2 years from the date of the 'Proficiency Check' plus the remainder of the month.

Come on guys. (Esp. Beagle and Whopity!) We deal with this stuff every day, but we shouldnt forget that it's very confusing for most people.

I just realised that the OP is over a year old!

Well I hope that dragging up this thread from the past has been of some help to someone.

Useful to me, I was wondering why the expiry date on my class rating was now end of July rather than 2 years from the expiry of the old rating.
