What prerequisite does point FCL.1010.SFE(a)(1)(i) establish for an SFE(A) certificate applicant?

An applicant for an SFE(A) certificate must hold or have held a type rating as required by point FCL.1010.SFE(a)(1)(i).

When the type rating required for SFE(A) is not for the type being sought, what characteristics of the aeroplane type must that rating be related to?

The type rating held or previously held need not be for the type for which SFE privileges are sought, but it must be related to an aeroplane type with similar type of propulsion (including number of engines) and MTOM.

Can an SFE(A) applicant seek privileges for a type they have never flown, and what does the rule say about a previously held but inactive type rating?

The applicant may have ceased to fly the type for which the type rating was held, as the requirement allows pilots to seek SFE privileges for a type they do not or did not fly during their active career.

GM1 FCL.1010.SFE(a)(1)(i) SFE — Prerequisites

ED Decision 2025/002/R

PREREQUISITE FOR AN SFE(A) TO HOLD A TYPE RATING

Point FCL.1010.SFE(a)(1)(i) requires an applicant for an SFE(A) certificate to hold or have held a type rating. This general reference to ‘a type rating’ allows pilots to seek SFE privileges for a type that they do not or did not fly during their active career. Still, the intention of this requirement is that, even if that type rating referred to in point FCL.1010.SFE(a)(1)(i) is not related to the type for which SFE privileges are sought, it should at least be related to an aeroplane type with similar type of propulsion (including number of engines) and MTOM.
