(e) Under the present regulations (section 21.253), in the event that an air line transport pilot certificate has expired and has not been validated in accordance with the provisions for renewal, he may have his certificate validated provided the flight tests appropriate to his rating are again satisfactorily accomplished. The pertinent sections above referred to are as follows:

'21.250(a) 10 hours of solo flight time within the 6 months preceding expiration in aircraft of each type for which renewal is sought. To secure renewal for one or more airplane classes, 5 hours of solo flight time shall have been logged in airplanes of each such class without regard to horsepower rating. The solo flight time required in each airplane may be included in the 10 hours required for the endorsement of an airplane type of aircraft.'

'21.251(b) 5 hours of flying solely by instruments within the 6 months preceding the expiration date of the certificate. In lieu of 50% of the above requirement, applicant may show an equal or greater amount of practice under simulated conditions approved by the Administrator.'
