F1.4 RE-VALIDATION OF SINGLE-ENGINE

PISTON - SEP (LAND) OR TMG CLASS

RATINGS

Revalidation by Proficiency Check

A SEP (Land) and/or TMG rating may be revalidated by passing a Proficiency Check (LPC) with a JAR authorised Flight Examiner (FE(A)) or Class Rating Examiner (CRE(A)). If completed within the three months preceding the expiry date of the rating(s), no loss of rating validity will be incurred - the new rating expiry date will be calculated from the preceding rating expiry date, not from the date of the Proficiency Check, or, Revalidation by flying experience A SEP (Land) and/or TMG class rating can be revalidated by flying experience by producing logbook evidence to an appropriately authorised JAR-FCL Examiner, before the rating expiry date has passed, of the following flying experience completed within the 12 months preceding the rating expiry date.

12 hours of flight time in SEP or TMG aircraft as appropriate to include;

i. 6 hours as pilot-in-command;

ii. 12 take-offs and landings;

iii. a training flight of at least 1 hour's duration with a FI(A) or CRI(A)* who must countersign the appropriate logbook entry (see full details below).

*The instructor must be authorised in accordance with JAR-FCL to instruct for the JAR-FCL TMG or SEP(Land) rating as appropriate. UK QSP only may undertake the instructional flight with a UK Military instructor. This training flight may be replaced by any other aeroplane proficiency check or skill test for an instrument, class or type rating (as defined by JAR-FCL) with a JAA qualified Examiner, or by a flight test for the issue/revalidation or renewal of a UK IMC rating.

If revalidating by flying experience, and providing the examiner signs the Certificate of Revalidation page within the 3 months prior to the rating expiry, the validity of the revalidated rating will be calculated from the date of expiry of the preceding rating.
