• Exemptions:– Senkrechtstarter, Luftschiffe, Ballone, Segelflugzeuge– LAPL– Kunstflug– Schleppflug– Mountain Rating– Flight Test Rating

bis maximal 08.04.20158

GENERAL

• JAR-compliant licences and medicals accepted• Non JAR-compliant licences require „conversion

report“ by the Authority• Foreign licences (ICAO Annex 1): Reduced course,

only experience for ATPL-holders• Language proficiency: English or langugage used

– 4 years (Level 4), 6 years (Level 5) validity– IR requires English

• Student Pilot– authorized and supervised by flight instructor– evidence of authorisation on cross-country flights

9

LAPL(A)

• Light Aircraft Pilot Licence (for A, H, S, B)

• Pre-requisites (Aeroplane):– 17 years– LAPL medical certificate (issued by AeMC, AME or GMP!)– Theoretical and practical training– Skill test

• Privileges:– Non-commercial, without remuneration– As PIC (!)– SEP or TMG with MTOM < 2000 kg, max 3 PAX, max 4

Persons on board

10

LAPL(A)

• Training in an ATO– Theory, gen.: Air Law, Human performance, Meteorology,

Communications– Theory for the a/c cat: Principles of Flight, Ops. proc.,

Performance and Planning, A/C general knowledge, Navigation

– 30 hours flight instruction• 15 hours dual instruction• 6 hours supervised solo flight time• 150 km solo cross-country flight with 1 landing at a

different aerodrome– LAPL skill test

– Carriage of passengers requires 10 hours as PIC after issuance of the licence

11

LAPL(A)

• Recent Experience within 24 months– 12 hours as PIC– 12 take-offs and landings– 1 hour flight time of refresher training with an instructor

• Renewal– Proficiency check with examiner, OR– Fly additional time dual or solo under supervision of an

instructor to fulfil recency requirements

12

IR(A)

• New NPA 2011-16: Enroute-IR (?)• Requirement for ATO-training for CAT II/III (?)• Basic Instrument Training Module

– first 10 hours of IR-course– course completion certificate, interchangeable with CPL

• Renewal requires training in an ATO

13

CLASS AND TYPE RATINGS

• Single-engine: Theory exam verbally by examiner• Seaplanes

– 8 hours training (add-on to land-verison)– 10 hours training otherwise

• Revalidation: Route sector may be included in LPC• Renewal requires training in an ATO („when

necessary to reach level of proficiency...“)• LPC / Skill test: „The examiner may choose between

different [...] scenarios [...] developed and approved by the competent authority.“ - ?

14

CLASS AND TYPE RATINGS

• Single-pilot high performance complex aeroplanes– 200 hours total time, 70 hours as PIC– HPA-requirements– fulfil requirements for multi-engine IR(A)– if „seeking the privilege to operate the aeroplane in multi-pilot

operations“: MCC course (training pre-requisite!)

– Skill test / LPC: „When a skill test or proficiency check is performed in multi-pilot operations, the type rating shall be restricted to multi-pilot operations“

15

ADDITIONAL RATINGS

• Aerobatic rating– 40 hours after licence– ATO course theory + 5 hours / 20 flights

• Sailplane / Banner towing– 30 h / 60 flights after licence (100 h / 200 flights for banner)– ATO course theory + 10 instruction flights

+ 5 familiarisation flights in sailplane for sailplane towing

• Night rating: additional + theory• Mountain rating

– special surfaces, on wheels or skis– ATO course, skill test, 24 months validity

• Flight test rating16

INSTRUCTORS

• Roles: FI, TRI, CRI, IRI, SFI, MCCI, STI, MI, FTI• Skill test is now „Assessment of competence“, also for

TRI, SFI• Refresher courses also for TRI, SFI, CRI, STI• Single-pilot high performance complex aeroplanes:

– TRI(SPA)– for multi-pilot operations additionally TRI(MPA) or MCCI

• FI for – single-pilot single-engine ratings „except for single-pilot high

performance complex aeroplanes“– multi-engine single-pilot class or type ratings except ...

• CRI instructs for non-complex, non-high performance single pilot aeroplanes in single-pilot operations

17

EXAMINERS

• No testing of applicants– to whom they have provided flight instruction– when they have been responsible for recommendation for test

• No testing for „foreign licences“, unless– inform candidate‘s authority– received a briefing on national administrative procedures,

requirements for protection of personal data, liability, accident insurance and fees

• Training includes conduct of 2 tests prior assessment• Mandatory refresher seminar (Authority or ATO)• Endorsement on licence „if specifically authorised for

that purpose“ by applicant‘s authority

18

ATOs

• Management system– Lines of responsibility– Safety policy– Hazard identification and risk management– Personnel competency– Management processes– Compliance monitoring– Records system

• Facilities• Operations and Training Manual(s)• Adequate Aircraft• Use of aerodrome

19

ATOs

• 3-years Record-keeping

• Personnel– Accountable Manager– Compliance Manager– Head of Training– Qualified Personnel

• For CPL/MPL/ATPL also:– CFI, CTKI– Structure of OM and TM– Training plan with week-by-week or phase representation
