IN 2014-114 Procedures for Examiners Holding Part/FCL Certificates Issued by Countri
Anyone looked at this one yet?
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/Informa...ice2014114.pdf
I'm planning to do an FAA - EASA conversion at a non-UK ATO and have the licence issued by the UK CAA. Reading this IN it states:
"In all cases where a skill test is to be conducted for the initial issue of a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) or Instrument Rating (IR) (including a Competency Based’ IR (CB IR)) the examiner shall be selected and designated by the UK CAA."
Does anyone know if that rule only applies to UK-ATOs? As I understand it at present non-UK ATOs test under their national arrangements and (generally) nominate their own examiners. Does this IN change that?
I would rather have my licence issued direct by the UK CAA, but if this IN makes it impractical then I would have to get the licence issued by the local authority then change the state of licence issue to the UK. If I had to do that it would make a mockery of the red tape challenge!

I took my IR skill test in Belgium, I have a CAA issued EASA CPL. The FE applied for the skill test and was officially designated by the CAA. The CAA may always designate someone else, that's the way I think the IN must be construed.

If your medical records are with the UK examining is conducted under UK rules and regulations.
For CPL and IR they will designate based on examiner availability in your area.
The CAA are cracking down on some foreign examiners as the standard obviously hasn't meant their standard.
Be warned - There are schools who will tell you they have UK approved examiners - although true in the past several cannot actually offer this for "some reason" which I believe to be connected to the above.
