Maintaining hours
Dear All,
I have been searching everywhere to find some facts and figures and cannot see anything relevant,
can anyone tell me the miniumum flying hours required monthly or yearly to keep a CPL valid, i.e. if you go away for 5 months will you have to take the whole training agin or just have a preliminary flight test....??
any help..
cheers

As far as I am aware the CPL does not have an hours requirement except for issue. Your Class Rating(s) have currency requirements. For example SEP is revalidated biennially and MEP annually.

Licences and ratings are revalidated in different ways.
A RATING is revalidated by taking a flight test, or in the case of the SEP rating, by experience. The revalidation requirements for a rating are the same, whether it's attached to a PPL, CPL or ATPL.
LICENCE revalidation is purely an adminstrative process. All JAR licences are valid for five years. When your five years is up, you fill in a form and send the CAA a cheque (for a change!) and they send you a new licence. No flight test or minimum hours are required, although you do need to have a current medical and at least one current aircraft rating in your licence when you apply.
So nothing fundamental changes when you get a CPL - you just have revalidate any type or class ratings you have, renew your medical and apply for a new licence every five years.
Hope that helps!
