EXAMINING:

As a CAA  examiner I am authorised to conduct the following:

 Please follow the links to the relevant CAA  documents which will give the applicant guidance information on each test.

I you have any further questions, please contact me.

• PPL Skills Tests.

  Standards Document 19, Version 2. Notes for the Guidance of Applicants taking the PPL Skill Test (Aeroplanes).

  An applicant should be familiar with this document before undertaking the test. www.caa.co.uk/docs/175/srg_fcl_19v2.pdf
   

• IMC Skills Tests and revalidation thereof .

  
  Standards Document 25, Version 1. Notes for the guidance of applicants taking the initial Skill Test or revalidating the Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) Rating (Aeroplanes).

• Revalidations and Renewals of class ratings. SEP. (And signing of the Certificate of revalidations).
  
  This is the link to download the form for single engine renewal/ revalidation (LST/LPC). www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/FORSRG1119Iss6.pdf
  I have attempted to explain the revalidation requirements (which can be very confusing). Please see below.
   
• PPL and IMC rating ground exams.

  Revalidations and Renewals- explained in English.

   

  To keep your license current you need to revalidate within the three months preceding the expiry date without any loss of the validity period. It is a pity that most PPL holders seem to leave revalidation until the final hour.

   There are 2 way to revalidate.

  1.    By experience. The requirement is to have flown 12 hours in the 12 months preceding expiry which must include at least 6 hrs p1, 12 take offs and landings and a 1 hour (minimum) DUAL flight with an instructor.(AIC127/1999 gives guidance on the content of the dual flight). The DUAL flight must be entered correctly as such, in the pilot’s log book and countersigned by the instructor. An examiner or authorised person must then complete the LST/LPC form and the revalidation page in the license itself.
  
  OR if you do not meet the requirements to revalidate by experience,

  2.    By License Proficiency Check (LPC). Conducted by an authorised examiner. Don't be intimidated by this option, it may cost fractionally more, but most pilots find it very beneficial.

  
  If you have allowed your license to expire for up to 5 years, the administrative action to get it back is called a RENEWAL. In this case you will have to do a License Skills Test (LST) also conducted by an examiner.

   An excellent source of information on many aspects of G/A operation is LASORS. Hard copies are available for £10 (a  recommended purchase).  Details of the above can also be found on the CAA web site. The index page is www.caa.co.uk/docs/175/Lasors_INDEX.pdf . If you would like to see my copy please ask.

   In addition to this, the requirement to carry passengers is 3 take offs and landings in the last 90 days.
