Examiner required for IAA EASA revalidation
 

Hi all,

I’m set to get my revalidation signed (before July 30th), I have the required hours/landings/instructor time logged.

I was just wondering, who’re you're getting to revalidate yours? This is the first time I’ve needed an IAA examiner, as I exchanged my licence two years ago.

I called to my nearest flying school on spec and an examiner there said he’d do it for €50. In the 20+ years of revalidating my previous licence version, no examiner ever sought a fee. I always offered something, but only once did one reluctantly accept.

It's easier than you think.

Email IAA Licensing with scans of your log book showing your hours and the 1hr instructor flight(s) you rely on for revalidation and they will print/send you a new ratings page for your licence. Until a couple of weeks ago they were sending the page by PDF for you to print yourself, along with a covering email to keep with your licence to say that "print your own" is a temporary COVID measure.

They don't ask for any money. No need to pay anyone €50.

Thanks very much for that info! Ive been on to the IAA.

Just to second that you shouldn't be paying anybody, I'm an IAA Examiner and never charge for this stuff!
