JUMBO400 - I am a flying instructor (still !) and I would like to revalidate my IR / MEP in the next 3-6 weeks or so, preferably in a seneca 1.
Perhaps you would email me with your availablility/rates.
Thanks.

Question Renewal or Revalidation?

If I renew my IR before the 1 year anniversary of the skills test pass date, it is called a "revalidation" but if I renew after that date it is a "renewal".

So what's the difference, or is there one?

Cheers.

In the case of an IR there's not really any difference (unless you allow it to lapse for years and years) but, in the case of other ratings like the SEP and FI ratings allowing the rating to lapse by even a day changes the test requirements so renewal and revalidation become different.

Thanks, I suspected there was no difference to the practical renewal test requirement until it got to the 5+ year point.

The SEP rating can be revalidated by LPC or by experience (12 hours in last 12 months preceding expiry to include 1 hour dual).

Renewal is only by LPC.

Revalidation

If a 12 hour experience in the preceding 12 months is required to automatically revalidate a SEP rating, what is the requirement to revalidate an IR on ME MPA, if the IR conducted is by a non JAA state?

What I mean to ask is do I have to revalidate my JAA IR every year to keep my JAA License valid or will the CAA accept my non JAA IR and flying experience in the subject year to keep my license valid?

Thanks in advance..

Revalidation of JAR CPL(A)?

I have been reading JAR FCL1 in an attempt to clarify how you renew/revalidate the JAR CPL(A).

From what I have read the CPL is valid for 5 years, after that period there is a CAA fee paying exercise needed to renew the CPL? Is that correct?

I can't find any revalidation "Skill Test" requirement? I mean for example the IR rating is revalidated by skill test every year. What about the CPL? I can't believe that after the initial skill test you never get tested again??????

Thanks

Smithgd,
You are in general right. You can't use your CPL for anything, however, without a valid Class/Type rating, which you will have to revalidate every 12 months (24 for SEP Class).

The CPL and ATPL can be regarded as licenses permitting you to transport people/goods for renumeration, they do NOT allow you to actually fly any particular Class or Type of aircraft.

Cheers,

That's what I suspected...so in theory.... if you own a plane the insurance would (I guess) be less for a CPL pilot compared to a PPL... the question is whether the cost savings over the years would cover the cost of doing the CPL?????? I would assume they are since it only cost £5000 ish to do the course. Just a thought I had that's all

It's just a Eurocratic scam to wrest a re-issue fee out of you every 5 years.

The Type/Class Ratings, IR and FI ratings all have unique re-validation requirements and are to only things that really matter. The licence itself is just a piece of very expensive paper; there is absolutely no rationale behind having to get it re-issued.

Regulations and Fees Fees Fees...

Actually if you have an FI rating and renew it at >5 years since expiry Lasors says you have to resit the CPL exams!!

Section H page 12 for those that dont believe me...

Presumably an ATPL working for an airline or a CPL guy para dropping would also have to do this. Ludicrous.

What is all this about. Oh silly me. It's all valuable revenue for our hard working guys and gals at Gatwick!

I can't understand the CAA obsession with constantly having to resit theory exams..unless it is revenue related..

ATPL Theory or SEP Revalidation. A little help required

Hi,
I am looking for a little advice from some wise people.
I currently hold a JAA PPL(A) and I am looking at undertaking the ATPL. I have looked into both methods (integrated and modular) and due to personal circumstances i.e. I need to keep working to help finance the studies, modular appears to be the best option. I am very fortunate in my current work (I’m a physics teacher) that I have six weeks in the summer and other holidays available. Due to a variety of reasons (university, work and geographical location) I have been unable to fly since I obtained the PPL in 2004. Consequently I have the problem that I am not current and my SEP rating is about to expire. My question is this: should I spend my time over the summer revalidating the PPL and building a few hours or should I commence the ATPL theory work with an organisation like Bristol GS?
I am genuinely unsure about the way forward and would welcome any advice that anyone has to offer. It will be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks,
Quarto
