Hi everyone,
I have an EASA PPL with SEP rating, and my SEP expires on 31st May 2019. I did an hour with a UK instructor in June 2018 so all I need to do now is make up the 12 hours (with 6 PIC, 12 takeoffs/landings) and I should be able to revalidate by experience.
I'm working/travelling in Australia until at least August 2019, and I'm hoping to get myself a CASA licence to do some hours over here in the next few months. This should easily give me the chance to meet all the criteria for revalidation by experience of my SEP before May next year.
My question is this: assuming I do manage to get the remaining hours in before my SEP expires, is there any way I can do the revalidation without having to fly back to the UK with my licence, logbook and revalidation form? I know that I need a CAA instructor to sign the form and the page in my licence, but is there any way I could do this by post?
Failing that, does anyone know a CAA instructor who lives in Australia that I could make contact with? It's no big deal if I have to make a trip home for a few weeks to sort this out, but of course I'd much rather find a way of doing it without leaving Australia!
Thanks for your help.
