Hi all,

I have just been sent an amending regulation to 1178/2011, the EIR has been accepted, the regulations on examiner briefings have been significantly relaxed an a few other things.

Still no news on SE/ME IRs though.

Progress!

Indeed. The italicised items to which the previous post refers will oblige Examiners to refer to a single document currently being finalised - the 'Examiner Differences Document'.

Each NAA has been asked to complete their national section to a common format as soon as possible.

The document will be updated regularly and each update will include a version number and date - the Examiner will be required to declare which version has been used for any relevant test/check/assessment of competence.

The EIR is being published too.

That one is correct in providing SE priviledges with a ME EIR. Why couldn't they manage that with the full IR?

The examiner differences document has been published on the EASA website:
