61.93(b) Authorization to perform solo flights

[meritflyer]

I just inherited another instructors student who is almost a PPL. He wanted to go out and practice his landings at another airport that is 15 NM away from our primary airport. His 61.93(b) was issued in July 2006 and he hasnt really flown a ton but has a current 61.87.

I couldnt find it but does the 61.93(b) expire or need to be renewed every so often?

No, just have to "determine that the student is proficient to make the flight" I think and have a current 61.87

doesn't look to expire.a catch may be the second note though (don't have the exact CFR # but here you go:

61.93 (a)(2)(iii)
(iii) Have satisfactorily accomplished the pre-solo flight maneuvers and procedures required by §61.87 of this part in the make and model of aircraft or similar make and model of aircraft for which solo cross-country privileges are sought; and

61.93(3)****

(1) Solo flights may be made to another airport that is within 25 nautical miles from the airport where the student pilot normally receives training, provided—
(i) An authorized instructor has given the student pilot flight training at the other airport, and that training includes flight in both directions over the route, entering and exiting the traffic pattern, and takeoffs and landings at the other airport;

As others said, it doesn't expire. But I still would make the flight at least once with the student before saying okay on my solo endorsement.
