Hi everyone,
I appreciate this has been talked about to death, but i'm in a situation where I can renew my PPL (A) - after years of not flying -. A flying school I spoke with advised I need to speak to a CFI to see if I can 'just' perform some assessment flights and then do a reduced skills test. My licence details:
SEP (land) Expired July 2007
FCL - Expired August 2015
I also have:
NPPL - Appears valid for my lifetime
Microlight (land) Expired - August 2012
Class 2 medical - Valid - (renewed recently under EASA).
Based on the above info (i've been reading the CAA and EASA blurb), but cannot find a single 'statement' to see what I need to do with regards to the PPL.
Do I need to do all of my flying training from scratch (including re-taking all of the ground exams), OR, would it be a case of some assessment flights, and a reduced skills test before the 8th April 2018 to renew the PPL/SEP (land) in order to get the EASA PPL licence with required SEP rating?
I appreciate your time.
