(1) pass a proficiency check in accordance with Appendix 9 to this Part in the relevant type of helicopter within the 3 months immediately preceding the expiry date of the rating; and

(2) complete at least 2 hours as a pilot of the relevant helicopter type within the validity period of the rating. The duration of the proficiency check may be counted towards the 2 hours.

Renewal (Expired Rating)

Renewal For the renewal of a class or type rating the applicant shall comply with all of the following:

(1) complete a proficiency check in accordance with Appendix 9 to this Annex;

(2) prior to the proficiency check referred to in point (1), complete a refresher training at an ATO if deemed necessary by the ATO to reach the level of proficiency to safely operate the relevant class or type of aircraft.

All of the above training and testing can be signed off in your licence by the examiner.

If your rating is on the back of your licence the Examiner cannot sign off your rating and you need to submit the rating to the Aviation Authority, who will issue you with a new Type Rating.

However, the examiner may be able to issue with a Temporary Rating Certificate
