The CAA notification form for revalidation of an SEP rating includes the following questions in the section for the examiner to complete.
Total Flight Time in preceding 12 months: ........Hours
Total Flight Time as PIC in preceding 12 months:.......... Hours
I have the necessary hours and instructor flight required to revalidate well in advance of expiry of my current rating, but my hours within the current second year of the rating, are substantially different from my hours within the “preceding 12 months.”
What matters of course is my hours in my current second year period, and not my hours in the previous 12 months.
Does the CAA assume that the rating will be signed on its last day of validity, and if not, what relevance does hours in the previous 12 months have to the notification procedure. Is this just another thoughtless piece of drafting by the CAA?
