Scenario:
EASA ATPL(A)
Ratings previously held by holder: B737 300-900
Expiry of LPC on B737 300-900: 31 December 2006.
My question is:
Taking cogniscience of CAP 804, which states:
'FCL.740 Validity and renewal of class and type ratings
(b) Renewal. If a class or type rating has expired, the applicant shall:
(1) take refresher training at an ATO, when necessary to reach the level of
proficiency necessary to safely operate the relevant class or type of
aeroplane; and
(2) pass a proficiency check in accordance with Appendix 9 to Part-FCL.'
I'm still not clear what the rules are under EASA to renew an expired Type Rating on the B737?
I know I have read something to do with this on PPRuNe recently, but a search has failed to find it.
I remember one discussion concerned the terms 'shall' and 'should' as to whether the whole of the training was required to renew the rating.
Taking the definitions at paragraph 1.3 in CAA Standards Document 21 as guidance:
'Shall' and 'Must' are used to indicate a mandatory requirement;
'Expect' and 'Should' are used to indicate strong obligation; and
'May' is used to indicate discretion.
Do the rules/references (I remember seeing, but cannot find) over ride the requirements of FCL.740 and, if so, on what basis?
