Part-FCL
privileges can be exercised by licence or certificate holders for up to 8 weeks
from the date of successful completion of examination(s), while they are
awaiting post-test endorsement of the licence or certificate.
Temporary
Certificates (TCs) are valid only for UK CAA Part-FCL (or JAR FCL) licence
holders and SFEs whose
Competent Authority is the UK CAA. TCs are not available for initial issue of
licences and are not available to anyone whose licence or certificate is
subject to any UK CAA licensing action, including the suspension or restriction
of privileges where associated conditions have not been discharged.
Applicants must
have completed an applicable UK CAA approved course of examiner standardisation
or refresher training, as applicable, at an ATO fully approved for such
training under Commission Regulation (EU) No. 1178/2011 (as amended), Annex VI,
Part-ORA.
TCs may be
valid, for a maximum period of 8 weeks,
from the date of successful completion of the Part-FCL requirements for the
issue of examiner certificate.
Licence holders
wishing to exercise temporary examiner privileges must carry a valid form SRG1100A- Temporary Licensing Certificate
for Examiner Privileges.
Where temporary certificates (TCs) may
apply
Examiner Certificates:
- Flight Examiner
(FE)
- Type
Rating Examiner (TRE)
- Class
Rating Examiner (CRE)
- Instrument
Rating Examiner (IRE)
- Synthetic
Flight Examiner (SFE)
- Flight
Instructor Examiner (FIE)
- Senior
Examiner (SE)
TCs (Form SRG1100A- Temporary Licensing
Certificate for Examiner Privileges) may be issued and signed only by an authorised CAA
Training Inspector or holders of UK CAA Senior Examiner Certificates, qualified to conduct the relevant Examiner Assessment of
Competence.
An
issuing Inspector or Senior Examiner is
responsible for ensuring that an applicant:
- has met all training, testing and regulatory requirements for the
Part-FCL Examiner Certificate applied for
- is not subject to any CAA licensing action, including the
suspension or restriction of privileges.
Senior Examiners are reminded to ensure that they:
- only proceed with a SFE/TRE AoC when the correct application has
been received and authorisation from examiners@caa.co.uk
or CAA Flight Operations (ATO&FCL) has been received.
- check that a valid examiner refresher seminar has been completed
and evidence retained and a copy submitted with the TS10, if the applicant
hasn't done so already.
If a seminar hasn’t yet been completed (which is within the
applicants rights) the AoC may proceed, however an SRG1100A shall not be
issued. Candidates are reminded that they cannot exercise privileges beyond
their current expiry until this has been completed. If less than 8 weeks
validity remaining, the examiner may submit evidence of completion then an
SRG1100A may be issued based on the date of the AoC.
- Initial SFE, TRE, and each third revalidation EAoCs shall always
be conducted by a UK CAA Training Inspector.
- SE AoCs shall always be conducted by a CAA Training Inspector.
- Renewal AoCs may be delegated to an appropriate SE, however Flight
Operations shall make an objective decision based on experience and time
expired and may require a CAA Training Inspector.
- Examiners, ATOs and Operators are reminded that an Examiner
certificate may be revalidated at any stage within the last year of validity
and the original expiry date may be preserved.
Validity of temporary
certificates
The
8-week validity period begins on the day that the associated Assessment of
Competence has been successfully completed, not on the date of application, and
it may not be extended.
Applications
for examiner certificates should therefore be submitted promptly, well within the Temporary
Certificate’s 8-week validity period, to avoid the risk of TC expiry before endorsement of the examiner certificate sought on
the applicant’s licence.
If
any application
requirements are found not to have been met on processing, previously issued
TCs will be suspended, and the main application may be rejected.
Completing the form
The
Temporary Certificate Form SRG1100A- Temporary Licensing
Certificate for Examiner Privileges may be completed digitally before printing (preferable method), or
may be printed and completed manually.
