Apply for a part 147 remote site approval

Pre-requisites

Organisations must have a UK approval and the remote site privilege within their approved exposition Section 2.8 (147.A.45c) – If not the organisation should apply for the remote site privilege by submitting an application form SRG1019 to their allocated Surveyor with their exposition detailing their control procedure for such the privilege.

Cost

See the Official Record Series 5, CAA Scheme of Charges.

If you apply for an initial approval with multiple ratings under the same approval type, you must include a payment relating to the charge for the highest rating applied for e.g. a Part 147 application for ratings T1, T2 and C would attract a single charge for the highest rating, being the T1, as per the Scheme of Charges.

In the event of a discrepancy between the information here and the Official Record Series 5, CAA Scheme of Charges, the Scheme of Charges takes precedence.

When the apply team receives the application and all elements are present and are correct an email will be sent to your organisation within 10 working days.
