Really sorry to raise this again but after a year's enforced delay since Irv and Cookie clarified for me, now ready to go but have differing views from local instructors - yet again. In summary:
UK PPL(A) issued 1990, never converted to JAR or EASA.
4 page license issued 2008 (because of the language proficiency thing I think) with SEP (land), IMC and SLMG listed in section XII with nil remarks/restrictions. Also has rating validity pages with it.
Last cert of test/experience (by Toon Ghose RIP) valid until 14/09/07
I now own a Kitfox 4 (not microlight) that will v soon have its LAA permit, I've just fitted a 912 and testing is done.
I can self declare medically.
To revalidate the UK SEP - I don't want to be EASA'd - can I simply get freelance refresher instruction in the Kitfox and then when he thinks I'm OK, a proficiency check in the Kitfox with an Examiner, he signs the revalidation and that's it?
I believe that was the situation a year ago, I'm hoping it still is, but "some say" I must go to an approved establishment for a retraining program etc etc. That would probably push me into selling the plane and going back to sailing! Help please!
I'm well aware of the limitations and oddities of the Kitfox, I've had one before, but the odds are it's the only thing I'll fly (solo) again before I pack up, so not bothered about retraining on it.
