Cessna C525 Citation renewal training
The Cessna C525 Citation renewal training is required when the type rating is expired. Complete renewal training must be provided by an EASA flight school. Upon successful completion of the type rating renewal training, the license proficiency check - LPC for renewal of the Cessna C525 Citation type rating will be provided by an EASA examiner.
The procedure to renew expired Cessna C525 Citation type rating is defined by FCL.740 and explained in detail in AMC1 FCL.740(b)(1) to the Part FCL.
The general requirement is that an EASA flight school - ATO (approved training organization) has to establish the conditions for Cessna C525 Citation type rating renewal. Renewal flight training and renewal theoretical ground school should be based on a checkflight. Based on the checkflight, the EASA Flight school should prepare tailored renewal type rating course.

The duration of the EASA renewal Cessna C525 Citation type rating training prescribed by the flight school required to regain the required level of the pilot´s proficiency depends also on how long is the EASA Cessna C525 Citation type rating expired.
Duration and scope of the Cessna C525 Citation renewal flight training should be the longer, the more time has elapsed since the Cessna C525 Citation type rating is expired.
In some cases, if the Cessna C525 Citation type rating is expired for a short period of time (less than 3 months) or the candidate has an overall extensive on-type experience, an EASA flight school may decide to recommend the candidate for LPC - license proficiency check without the renewal flight training.
Recommendation for the length of the renewal flight training, established by an EASA flight school should have following duration:
After successful completion of the prescribed renewal flight training, the flight school - ATO will issue a certificate of completion of the renewal flight training.
Based on the course completion certificate, candidate is recommended for the renewal EASA license proficiency check (LPC) with an Cessna C525 Citation type rating examiner - TRE(A).
After passing the renewal EASA license proficiency check (LPC), the Cessna C525 Citation type rating is renewed and endorsed by the flight examiner for a further 12 months (1 year).
