Quick PPL question
Hi guys,
I have just finished all 7 exams and have 25 hours. I started just over 18 months ago (all 7 exams were completed within 18 months).
According to my flying school I now have 2 years to complete the flying after which I have to re-sit the exams.
I want to get it wrapped up in a month or 2 anyhow, but was reading law this morning and got the impression from their wording that the whole thing (flying included) has to be completed within 18 months of the first exam, if not then they have to be re-sat.
Can anyone enlighten me as I have worked hard in the last month to get 5 exams...but have I wasted my time?
Cheers..

Taken from LASORS C1.3
These examinations contain multiple-
choice questions for the most part and are
normally conducted under the auspices of a
Flight Training Organisation or a Registered
Facility. An applicant shall be deemed to
have successfully completed the theoretical
examinations for the JAR-FCL PPL(A) when
awarded a pass in all of the above examinations
within a period of 18 months counted from the
end of the calendar month when the applicant
first attempted the examination. A pass
will be accepted for the grant of a JAR-FCL
PPL(A) during the 24 months from the date of
successfully completing all of the theoretical
knowledge examinations.
So, from the time you complete the first exam, you've got 18 months to finish them.
Once you've completed all the exams, you've got a further 24 months to pass the skills test.
