Frage zum Thema SEP RENEWAL:
Folgender Fall: Verkehrspilot ATPL(A) möchte seit 8 Jahren verfallenes SEP PIC Rating erneuern. Bislang stand in der FCL.740(b)(1), dass das nur innerhalb einer ATO funktioniert. Ein Flug um den Schulungsaufwand einzustufen, dann Ausbildung und am Ende eine Prüfung:
Paragraph (b)(1) of FCL.740 determines that if a class or type rating has lapsed, the applicant shall take refresher training at an ATO. The objective of the training is to reach the level of proficiency necessary to safely operate the relevant type or class of aircraft. The amount of refresher training needed should be determined on a case-by-case basis by the ATO, taking into account the following factors:
[...]
(b) Once the ATO has determined the needs of the applicant, it should develop an individual training programme that should be based on the initial training for the issue of the rating and focus on the aspects where the applicant has shown the greatest needs.
(c) After successful completion of the training, the ATO should give a certificate, or other documental evidence that the training has been successfully achieved to the applicant, to be submitted to the competent authority when applying for the renewal. The certificate or documental evidence needs to contain a description of the training programme.
Ist es korrekt, dass dieser o.g. Paragraph in der aktuellen Fassung der 1178 entfällt?! Also reicht ein Training auf dem eigenen Flugzeug mit FI oder gar ein Prüfungsflug ohne Training? Dort steht nämlich jetzt folgendes, ohne weitere Einschränkungen:
FCL.740 Validity and renewal of class and type ratings
[...]
(b) Renewal. If a class or type rating has expired, the applicant shall:
(1) take refresher training at an ATO, when necessary to reach the level of proficiency necessary to safely operate the relevant class or type of aircraft; and
(2) pass a proficiency check in accordance with Appendix 9 to this Part.
Danke für die Auskunft!
