In order to revalidate by experience, the pilot must produce logbook evidence that in the 12 months preceeding the expiry date of the rating they: have completed 12 hours of flight time in SEP or TMG aircraft (as appropriate) to include 6 hours as pilot-in-command, 12 take-offs and landings and a training flight or flights comprising at least 1 hour with an approved Flight Instructor or CRI.

If the candidate can provide logbook evidence that in the period between rating issue or the last revalidation they have carried out a let-down and approach to DH/MDH, a go-around and missed approach procedure to the satisfaction of an approved flight instructor, then they need only be tested on one type of approach. Otherwise, two approaches, using different aids must be demonstrated during the test.
