2 year lapse

Plus, you will need to have accomplished three landings within the last three months before you will be permitted to carry any passengers.

And one of the 12 hours in the previous 12 months must be with an instructor ‘for the purposes of revalidation’

Hi All,

I’ve now had my PPL (A) for two years. I’ve not flown since the 21se Dec 2005, due to work etc etc.

What dow I have to do to get back in the saddle?

I can’t remember how may ours were in the 1st and 2nd year – but I’m sure I’ve done more than 12.

Any help welcome.

Thanks

The annoying thing is – I just want to go up and fly now :confused:

Your SEP rating is valid for two years. If has already expired (check the date on your licence) you will need to do a skill test with an examiner, no matter how many hours you have flown in the last two years. If your SEP rating is still valid, you can basically go out and fly, even if your last flight was in Dec 2005 (check with your club, they might require some recent experience). If your SEP rating is just about to expire, it would be a good idea to have an instructor along for the ride to extend your rating for another two years, provided of course that you have flown more than 12 hours in the last 12 months of the SEP rating. If you do not make the 12 hours in the last 12 months, then you need to do a skill test with an examiner.

When i first had my PPL, I was still at school and very poor, so I would wait until I had 6 weeks left on my 13 months and then do my 5 hours over a few weekends, starting with a check-ride with an instructor

Cheers.

I’ll have to drop by at some point – I’ve only recently joined them, but have not managed to get down.

The best thing you can do is go to where you intend to fly and chat to the CFI. You might have to do a skills test but you might not and just have an ordinary check ride.

They will give you the best info and will certainly know more about it than most of us!
