Revalidation
Every 24 months, FROM THE DATE THE SKILLS TEST WAS PASSED, the pilot must have achieved 12 hours flying in the last 12 months of the 24 month period. This may consist of up to 6 hours dual flying. One of these hours in the last three month period must be with an instructor. If you have just completed a new rating, this hour can usually be wavered.
The hour with the instructor has no set format, however, although this is NOT A TEST, to make the hour constructive, it is spent going ver old skills that may not have been practiced for a while i.e stalls, PFLs, EFATO, general emergencies, spiral dives, unusual attitudes and a couple of circuits. Remember, this is NOT A TEST, but may blow away a few cobwebs and will be good fun.
