Renewing PPL
I've got a full PPL, but I didn't keep up the hours in time, so the licence lapsed.
Once a licence has lapsed, how many hours do I need to do to get the full status again? What mandatory flights do I have to retake? (Licence was issued in 2007, flown 3 hours since then) |
If your licence was issued in 2007, it will need to be re-issued in 2012. However, it is your SEP Class Rating which needs to be renewed; even after the Rating is renewed, you will still need to apply for licence re-issue in 2012.
There is no minimum hours requirement before taking an SEP Class Rating renewal Licence Skills Test (which is not the same as the original PPL Skills Test - it has less content); you will probably need to do some refresher flying before you fly the LST with an Examiner, but assuming you have a valid medical and pass the LST, the Examiner can sign you up immediately after the flight and that's all there is to it. There are no exams to take either. |

Ahh, kk cheers. I'd gotten confused but knew things were gone at the 2 year mark.
It was more due to being away from teesside, Uni + work taking up most of my time, then slight reluctance to fly after the aircraft I learned to fly in crashed off whitby in October '08. Ready to fly again now. |
