A fair few instructors are also examiners and any flight with them, signed off is a proficiency check.

Frank, that's not really true. A BGA examiner is not the same thing as an EASA sailplane examiner & an EASA proficiency check is not just "any flight with an examiner".

(a) Holders of an LAPL (A) shall only exercise the privileges of their licence when the have completed, in the last 24 months, as pilots of aeroplanes or TMG:

For the avoidance of doubt (i.e. my doubt!) does that mean the hours, etc., can be done in either an "aeroplane" or a TMG? (That is, if you fly both, as I do, they all count equally.)

[Dave W]

Yes, assuming TMG endorsement on the licence.

y'see having met and heard every confused thought possible from pilots' understandings of the LAPL, I would have started that with 'no, unless'!
When it comes down to it, pilots and regulators are not reading and writing - and in fact not thinking - in the same language. I have heard every combination of "what things mean" questions by some lapl pilots, probing of the others finds they are not asking questions as they don't understand enough to ask!
ps: Does it really say 'pilot of aeroplanes' or is that poetic licence?

It may just be me but it looks like this new forum doesn't support signature blocks.......I can't see the link anywhere.

Cheers Andy.......I've never had a SIG block....what I was trying to say (badly) was that I couldn't see the link described in Dave W's post.

[Miscellaneous]

Dave's sig block, with links, is visible to me. As is everyone else's.

[garethep]

Must just be me then...... Can't see these adverts that everyone else is complaining about either. EDIT.....just logged in on PC.....can see it now.

[flamair]

Not quite, but it is as it was!

For class ratings like SEP, for reval by xperience, only final 12 months count... Requirements to get signed off before expiry are..
Twelve hours including at least an hour of training with an instructor, of which six hours at least must be P1 ,and twelve take offs and landings in p1 or put.
Nppl is different, it is over two years and different break down.
Lapl(a) validity needs at least thirteen hours in 24 months before any p1 flight, (so potential lack of validity is always the next flight), of which twelve hours are p1, and one is pu/t, and the 12 take offs and landings must be P1, but not many people know that

Thanks Irv, I was aware my memory was a little hazy of the procedure. It's all coming back to me now! I think!

It's just great to be back flying to be honest!

Here's the link I meant, for anyone who can't see my signature block.

[riverrock]

I can also see neither sig blocks or adverts, other than the subsonex flyer one.
Using windows phone.

[Geronimo]

One further query

Under the second point, flying under the supervision of an instructor, does this allow for carriage of a passenger during the time until the 12 hours P1 is achieved? I had thought not, but this would seem to be allowed (subject of course to the 3 t/o and land requirement)

[low&slow]

No, read FCL.140 quoted in the first post:

. . . flying dual or solo under the supervision . . .
