ED Decision 2020/005/R
(a) An examiner should plan per day not more than:
(1) three tests or checks relating to PPL, CPL, IR or class ratings;
(2) four tests or checks relating to LAPL, SPL or BPL;
(3) two tests or checks related to MPL or ATPL;
(4) two assessments of competence related to instructor certificates;
(5) four tests or checks relating to SP type ratings.
(b) An examiner should plan at least 2 hours for a LAPL, SPL or BPL, 3 hours for a PPL, CPL, IR or class rating test or checks, and at least 4 hours for instructor certificates, MPL, ATPL or MP type rating tests or checks, including preflight briefing and preparation, conduct of the test, check or assessment of competence, de-briefing, evaluation of the applicant and documentation.
(c) For the conduct of the test, check or assessment of competence, without additional activities specified in point (b), the following values may be used as guidance:
(1) 45 minutes for a LAPL(B) or BPL and SP class ratings VFR only;
(2) 60 minutes for extension of BPL commercial privileges;
(3) 90 minutes for LAPL(A) or (H), PPL(A) or (H), and CPL(A) or (H), including the navigation section;
(4) 60 minutes for PPL(As) and CPL(As);
(5) 60 minutes for IR, EIR, instructor certificates, and SP type or class ratings; and
(6) 120 minutes for MPL, ATPL, and MP type ratings.
(d) For the LAPL(S) and SPL test or check flight the flight time must be sufficient to allow that all the items in each test or check section can be fully completed. If not all the items can be completed in one flight, additional flights have to be done.
EASA aviation regulations limit examiner daily workload: maximum three PPL/CPL/IR tests, four LAPL/SPL/BPL tests, or two MPL/ATPL assessments. Examiners must allocate sufficient time, 2-4 hours, for preparation, execution, and debriefing per assessment. Flight time for sailplane/glider licenses must ensure complete evaluation.
