Help for an expired Class 3 instructor rating??

[Dusty flaps]

Just wondering about an expired class 3 instructor rating. Will I have to do the class 3 written exam (or is there just one exam for class 4 and 3) and is the flight test class 3? It has expired for 4 years and I'm not sure if I have to show Transport a class 4 compentency level first then do the class 3 at a later time? Any help would be great.

You will need to complete the Class IV (AIRAF) exam and flight test with TC. I believe you need reccomends for both. There is also no exam for Class III only 1,2,4.

AV8R is correct.

You will require to be recommended by the holder of a Class 1 rating, then do the Class 4 written exam, then do the Class 4 flight test. Upon successful completion you will be granted your previous priviledges as a Class 3.

Thanks for the information. Much appreciated.

could an expired Class 3 (with enough recommends for the Class 2 before expiry) be renewed with a Class 2 written and a normal 4/3 ride? Or is it required to write the Class 4 written again first?
