SEP/TMG Class Rating Training Flight Exemption

[BEagle]

I'm pleased to announce that the CAA has now agreed to my recommendation and that a Regulation 14(4) Exemption (UK-E3600) has been raised, restoring the pre-EASA policy.

This means that, for example, an IMCR / IR(R) revalidation flight, an FI revalidation flight or an airline LPC may now count in lieu of the training flight requirement - as before.

The CAA will be publishing the Regulation 14(4) exemption as an ORS4 document shortly; however, the revised policy is already in effect until 8 May 2015. By which time EASA FCL.002 should have corrected the original error.

Can you get them to do a reg 14 for the seaplane rating now! The change has been agreed with EASA.

I have now made such a request. If you don't ask, you won't get - but they might say no.....:hmm:

Whereas the proposal for correcting the SEP/TMG revalidation training flight exemption had been discussed at the EASA FCL Implementation Forum and had received no objections, unfortunately this was not the case with the consolidated SEP(Land) / SEP(Sea) revalidation proposal.

Although I raised a proposal, we were told that the matter was already being looked at by FCL.002 and although a consolidated revalidation proposal will be forthcoming, the FCL-IF had no sight of it, hence were unable to support/object/amend/discuss it and hence we have no idea what will ultimately be proposed by EASA.

As a result, quite understandably the CAA do not wish to pre-empt the work of FCL.002 by issuing another Regulation 14(4) exemption.

Yes, that was me that did that. The wording has been agreed and its been passed to FCl.002

I was just hoping we would have get reg 14 exemption in the interim.

BE and BX - well done both. Credit where credit is due. A chink of commonsense starting to come through. I just hope it is not too little too late.
