What is a SEP Renewal Flight?
An SEP renewal flight is a check with the flight instructor/examiner before or after the expiry of the validity period of the single-engine aircraft class authorization to see if the pilot is able to maintain his/her flying skills. If it is seen after the check that the pilot meets the qualification level determined by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, the authorization validity period is extended.

A Private Pilot License – PPL(A) is the certificate you get when you finish the first stage of your pilot training. The flight authorizations you can perform with this certificate are indicated on the right side of your license. The meaning of SEP written in that section is as follows; It means the validity date when you can use piston-single engine – SEP class aircraft with a PPL license. In summary, in order to perform a flight, you need to check the validity dates in the authorizations section on the right side of your license. If your SEP has expired or is about to expire, you need to extend your SEP by making a renewal flight in order to continue your flights.
