Uk licensing requirements. I haven’t flown for 12 months but I have over 500 hours experience on my Tri Gear over six years.  Is it a legal requirement in the UK that I have to do my first flight on my return with an instructor or just a recommendation.  Co-ordinating instructor/weather/airplane/daylight and myself is proving difficult.

Hi! Richard.  

I’m “fairly confident” that after a long lapse there are two requirements :-  

<![if !supportLists]>a)       <![endif]>you need to do 3 landings prior to taking a passenger in the last 90 days.  

<![if !supportLists]>b)       <![endif]>It is a license validation requirement that you have a 1hour instructor “check flight” within every two years.  

<![if !supportLists]>c)       <![endif]>You need 12 hours solo minimum within every two years.  

   

Someone more authorative may bolster that up but I’m pretty sure it’s correct.  

The 12 hours hasn’t ever been a problem for me but two years running I had forgotten the check ride since time goes so fast! But by chance squeezed it in both times.  

It will be in my diary ahead in future.( I’m on a bloody annual medical too!)  

The date which counts is in your license and you can do the “check ride” up to 4 weeks ahead of the date.  

To do it in your own plane you need an instructor who is current on the Europa, I had to do mine recently on a Cessna 152 and of course the guy had to show me how all over again !  

Regards  

Bob Harrison.

Richard,

 Rather than ask three different instructors that  question, and get three different answers, I'd speak to a LAA coach (or  two!).

Hi Richard,

 Bob is largely correct except that the you must have completed 12 hours in the last 12 months prior to expiry of your previous BFR.

 

 The BFR (1 hr flight with instructor)may be undertaken at any time in the last 12 months but the review may not be validated in yor license until 4 weeks prior to expiry due to the need to verify hours, medical etc.

 

 Pete (LAA asst coach)
