Flying Instructors & Examiners A place for instructors to communicate with one another because some of them get a bit tired of the attitude that instructing is the lowest form of aviation, as seems to prevail on some of the other forums!

OPC in Europe by pilot with FAA licence
Just came across an interesting issue...
An FAA licensed pilot with a national validation of a europenan country (no JAr licence) wants to do an OPC on behalf of a European EU-OPS operator on a JAR certified simulator. Possible or not?

If it were the UK, then I very much doubt it. The proposed non-JAR Examiner could apply for a one-off authority to conduct the test, but this might (note the word) only be granted if there were NO other JAR Examiner on type in Europe. Perhaps our European colleagues are more flexible. I'd be interested to know....

National validation / OPC
Thanks for your answer. The examiner has a JAR authorisation and the SIM is JAR approved. Its the pilot who has a national validation only and wants to do the OPC...
I know its confusing and sorry if it wasn't as clear...

It depends on the privileges of the Validation. If for full commercial use, then no problem. Best is to check with the company's NAA Flight Ops Inspector.
