You can go up to 7 years without renewing your license before it expires. Beyond that, it expires and you have to go through extra heartache and expense to get it back. So if you are flying on your FAA license, just go once every seven years to renew the JAA license in case you want to keep it valid for the future. Having said that, it is WAAAY more expensive to keep a JAA license current than an FAA license.
Thank you for the correction, I was under the impression that it was a yearly thing from the guys here that always seem to be organizing trips to the EU to renew it. Pain in the rear end though, I personnaly don't think is worth it, unless you are planning to work in the EU market eventually (people are bailing out of that market in droves it seems) But hey, if you have 50K around that you can't possibly think of nothing better to do with it, go for it
