Licence Questions (requirements, costs, hours, LASORS etc.)
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a UK PPL which requires revalidation in a couple of weeks. I live in Sydney, Australia and so I need to do the flight test somewhere local. Is this possible?

Does anyone know any schools who do this, or whether the flight test can be carried out by any local instructors?

Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I think u should try posting in DUNNUNDA and questions,u might have a little more response.

You can revalidate by experience if you have 12 hours in the last year, including 1 hour with a flight instructor. However, I guess the FI needs to be a UK or JAA one and you'll still need a UK Flight Examiner to sign your licence. If you want to revalidate by flight test then you need a UK Flight Examiner PPL (FE/PPL) or FE(CPL). There was one at Adelaide - don't know if he's still there.

If your UK PPL is more than 5 years out of date you'll need to speak to the CAA, if not then you need to do an LPC (Licence Proficiency Check) which can be done at most flying clubs, as long as they have an examiner available. Where in the UK will you be, then we can tell you where to try? If by local you mean local to Sydney then you probably can't get it done over there but why bother? Just do an LPC next time you're in UK.

IR Revalidation
 

Can anyone advise me of the cheapest way to revalidate an expired IR?

Help is appreciated!

If you want the cheapest for just an IR standalone renewal, use an approved simulator, but not the way I would choose to go.

Cheers

Which IR are U talking about ? Rules (& prices) are quite different for FAA & JAA !

MF

It is for a JAA/CAA IR renewal.

The cash is running out and many companies have said that my IR needs to be current before they will consider me.

Any ideas?

HI
The cheapest way and the best in my opinion. Is on a cheap twin £210/Hr and the Examiner for £160 that will give you a MEP renewal and IR. If I can be of any help as I'm an CRE/IRE send me message
