INRAT Extension NCR-136-2020

[geneticistx]

Hi,
Does anybody know if NCR-136-2020 is still valid and the INRAT can be extended for anytime? I passed my INRAT in April 2021 and I'm trying to find out if this is still valid and if I can extend my 24 month INRAT validity as I have not been able to do my flight test yet.

Thanks

The latest version I can find is NCR-029-2022, which expires Feb 28, 2023. That doesn't get you to two years, so it looks like you're stuck with April 2023 unless they reissue the exemption.

6 month extension is coming down soon to extend the 24 month validity of written exams by another 6 months.

Exemptions can’t be extended, they have to issued as new exemptions if it is decided to continue the relief provided by the expired exemption.
