They leave long gaps so more go; means more fees (for them);
I think On track and Aopa run 3 a year each, so thats 18 opportunities over the validity of the rating to get signed off. remember you can attend a seminar at any time during the validity of the rating to meet the requirements for revalidation next time round

You mention paying fees for an extension. Is this an extension to the validity period of the FI rating?
Does anyone know if the rating is valid until the end of the month in which it is due to expire or does it expire on the date specified on ones certificate.
Thanks

The rating is valid to the date specified on your ratings page. If it is valid to the end of the month, rather than the anniversary of the test, that will be reflected on the expiry date written down
JAR–FCL 1.315Instructor ratings and
authorisations – Period of
validity
(a) All instructor ratings and
authorisations are valid for a period of 3 years.
(b) The validity period for a specific
authorisation shall not exceed 3 years.

Thanks for the prompt response. I spoke with the CAA this morning and they confirmed that the end of the month does not apply and secondly no extensions available.
Despite explaining the difficulties in getting a refresher seminar/examiner/weather to coincide with the day job roster I was told that if it lapses then a flight test and seminar are the only options.
Anyway if it lapses then I'll get along to a seminar next April.
Thanks for the info.
