EASA IR Revalidation Tracker
Track your EASA instrument rating expiry and the FCL.625 proficiency-check window, with status badges for every rating you hold.
FCL.625: an EASA IR is valid 1 year and revalidated by proficiency check within the 3 months immediately preceding expiry โ miss it and renewal (with refresher training as required) applies.

About EASA IR Revalidation Tracker
Unlike the FAA's rolling recent-experience model, an EASA instrument rating runs on a hard expiry date: valid for one year, revalidated by a proficiency check flown within the three months immediately preceding that date (FCL.625). Let the date pass and you're into renewal territory โ refresher training at an ATO as deemed necessary, then the check. This tracker is built around that cliff edge: enter each rating with its expiry, and the status column turns amber 92 days out, precisely when your revalidation window opens. Track multiple ratings (IR(A), IR(H), class and type ratings) in one list and export the schedule your examiner or ATO will ask about anyway.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between EASA revalidation and renewal?+
Revalidation happens BEFORE expiry: a proficiency check in the final three months of validity, and the new period runs from the old expiry date โ you lose nothing. Renewal happens AFTER expiry: an ATO assesses your needs, prescribes refresher training, and then you fly the check. The cost difference can be a single flight versus a multi-session course, which is why the amber window matters.
Can I revalidate early without losing validity?+
Yes โ that's the design of the 3-month rule. A proficiency check passed inside the three months immediately preceding expiry revalidates the rating to one year FROM THE EXPIRY DATE, not from the check date. Flying it earlier than three months out, though, restarts validity from the check date, so the amber window is the financially optimal slot.
Does the EASA IR have a recent-experience rule like the FAA's six approaches?+
Not in the same form โ the EASA system leans on the annual proficiency check rather than rolling approach counts. However, instrument privileges still interact with class/type rating validity and operator requirements, and PBN privileges must be included in the check. Many EASA pilots still track approaches voluntarily for personal minimums, but the legal cliff is the calendar date this tool watches.
Why doesn't this tool sync to the cloud?+
By design: career and currency records are sensitive, and the simplest privacy guarantee is never transmitting them. Local-only storage means zero servers, zero breach surface and zero subscription. If you fly from several devices, keep one as the master record and move snapshots between machines with the CSV export.
Can I get my data out if I switch tools later?+
Always โ the CSV export is a complete, lossless dump of your rating validity schedule, generated locally in one click. Import it into commercial logbook software, archive it in your records folder, or post-process it in a spreadsheet. No lock-in is a deliberate design decision: data you can't take with you isn't really yours.
