Help with definitions?
Hi there
I was wondering if someone could clarify what the term SEP means. If someone was to ask if I had SEP do they mean do I have a PPL licence thats for single engine pistons? Thanks |
Yes, you're correct.
You've got a lot of learning to do. In the world of aviation, there are acronyms for EVERYTHING. |
WarriorDan,
To be precise, there are TLAs for everything! :) SD |
The PPL is a pilot licence with privileges restricted to private flying.
The aeroplane categories a PPL holder may fly are as defined in the Type and/or Class Ratings included in the licence. A PPL with SEP(Land) Class Rating is what people usually mean by 'a PPL' - and remember that the SEP(Land) Class Rating has a 2 year validity period, whereas a PPL has a 5 year validity period at which point it must be re-issued in order for the Rating(s) included therein to remain valid.... |
Beagle, I never realised that. That's devious!
I checked my PPL document and in fact, it's even slightly worse. The class rating expires two years after I did the PPL (SEP/Land) skills test. But the PPL document expires five years after the CAA issued it - which took 6 weeks in my case, not all of those weeks being the CAAs fault. |
And to be valid it must also contain a valid medical certificate with a different expiry date!
|
Which isn't valid unless it's been signed by the holder.
As must both the FRTOL and the licence to be valid! |
