ED Decision 2022/014/R

REVALIDATION AND RENEWAL OF TYPE RATING — ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES

(a) The operator may nominate several deputy EBT managers to ensure the availability of at least one examiner for each fleet, in the context of workload to manage the EBT programme, several locations of the training facilities, or bases, etc.

(b) For the first revalidation of type rating after the transition from mixed EBT, the examiner may use mixed EBT module(s) in addition to the other EBT module(s) as a means to revalidate the type rating.

(c) In accordance with the approved procedure in Appendix 10, 4. (c)(2), and as provided in AMC1 to Appendix 10 point (c), the EBT manager may nominate the EBT instructor who completed the EBT module as the person to whom the signature of the examiner is delegated. A stamp or electronic signature may exclusively be given from the EBT manager to the EBT instructor, in order to document the delegation in a transparent and secure manner. Following that process, EBT instructors on behalf of the EBT manager can endorse an applicant’s licence.

(d) The EBT programme is included in the operations manual and, in accordance with ORO.FC.145 of Regulation (EU) No 965/2012, for CAT it is subject to prior approval including any changes, its syllabi and the use of individual FSTD.

(e) The requirements for completion of the operator’s EBT programme (see the form set out in AMC1 to Appendix 10) can be found in point ORO.FC.231(a)(3) of Annex III (Part-ORO) to Regulation (EU) 965/2012 and include, as a minimum, the completion of:

(1) a minimum of two EBT modules;

(2) line evaluation(s) of competence. In the case of renewal of a type rating, the line evaluation of competence can be performed only when the pilot has their type rating renewed; and

(3) ground training.

(f) The EBT programme includes equivalencies of approaches (point ORO.FC.231(g)) and determines the necessary training frequency for particular approaches. Therefore, pilots can maintain their PBN privileges when completing an EBT programme. Additionally, in the case of specific approaches related to PBN which require a specific approval in accordance with Subpart B of Annex V (Part-SPA) to Regulation (EU) No 965/2012, the requirements of that Subpart (SPA.PBN) apply.
