How to Keep Your Licence Current Under JAR
Having successfully completed the Private Pilot's Licence course the licence will be issued
for a maximum of five years.
It will be valid for twenty-four months and then re-validated for a further twenty-four
months subject to the following requirements:
| 1. |
i) Within the three months preceding the expiry date of the rating, pass a proficiency check with an
authorised Examiner on either a single-engine piston aeroplane (land) or a touring motor glider:
OR
ii) Within twelve months preceding the expiry of the rating complete twelve hours of flight time including
six hours of Pilot-In-Command time and twelve take-offs and twelve landings. The twelve hours must
include a training flight of at least one hour's duration with a Flight Instructor. This flight
may be replaced by any other proficiency check or skill test for a class or type rating.
|
| 2. |
If a single-pilot single-engine class rating has expired, the applicant shall complete a proficiency check.
|
IMPORTANT: A Certificate of Test or Certificate of Experience in your pilot's licence must be signed on completion of the above by an Examiner.
At the end of five years you will need to apply for re-issue of the licence. In order to exercise
the privileges of any licence, the holder must be in possession of a current medical certificate.

Social Calendar
BAFC Flying Instructor, Sandra Haine, organises flying events throughout the year to suit all tastes and pockets.
Flying days range from UK airfields such as the Isle of Wight, Caernarfon and Jersey to airfields
in mainland Europe such as Le Touquet, Frankfurt, Reims, Deauville and La Rochelle. Both day-trips
and overnight stays are included.
There are ground events too. The Social Committee hold an Annual General Meeting to discuss the year's
successes and future plans and award a vast range of prizes to Club members, students and the like.
There are Summer barbecues, Winter quiz nights, the occasional party and instructional evenings
such as 'Get to Know Your GPS'.
All in all a busy, highly productive team of Club members and staff who enjoy helping people
