OPC and LPC

[pipergirl]

Can someone tell me when OPCs and LPCs have to done?
Is it every 6 months for the OPC and 12 months for the LPC?

thanks

they can usually be combined though to save the sponduliks.

thanks for that fred, but when technically do they have to be done? Every 6 or 12 months?

In the UK LPC renewals 12 months, but (IIRC) can be done in the 3 months prior to due date, valid up to the original expiry date.

OPC every 6 months - not sure about flex on that. Check LASORs or your local equivalent for exact regs.

OPC every 6 months but it is normal procedure for the OPC to run until the end of the month. The same "rule" will often apply to the LPC if you're flying on an AOC. It should be documented in your Ops/Training Manual

Hope this helps
