License Renewals

If a type rating has expired, you are required to receive renewal training as determined by the authority and ATO. Aviation Insider offers Licence Proficiency Checks (LPC) for UK CAA, EASA and ICAO licenses with our team of friendly TRE’s all the aircraft listed below. All LPC’s must be completed on full motion level D simulator devices. Aviation Insider recommends maintaining a current IR at all times as a renewal requires training before completing an LPC and is more costly than a revalidation. You can find out more about license revalidations here if your license has not expired.

The objective of the refresher training is for the applicant to reach the level of proficiency necessary to safely operate the relevant type or class of aircraft. The amount of refresher training needed should be determined on a case-by-case basis by the ATO as applicable, taking into account the following factors:

1. the experience of the applicant;
2. the amount of time elapsed since the privileges of the rating were last used;
3. the complexity of the aircraft;
4. whether the applicant has a current rating on another aircraft type or class; and
5. where considered necessary, the performance of the applicant during a simulated proficiency check for the rating in an FSTD or an aircraft of the relevant type or class.

It should be expected that the amount of training needed to reach the desired level of proficiency will increase analogously to the time elapsed since the privileges of the rating were last used.
