The UK update to which ifitaintboeing refers published December 2020;
Article 9
Credit for training commenced prior to the application of this Regulation [...]
2. Training commenced prior to the application of this Regulation in accordance with Annex 1 to the Chicago Convention shall be given credit for the purposes of issuing Part-FCL licences on the basis of a credit report established by the [CAA]2 .
3. The credit report shall describe the scope of the training, indicate for which requirements of Part-FCL licences credit is given and, if applicable, which requirements applicants need to comply with in order to be issued with Part-FCL licences. It shall include copies of all documents necessary to demonstrate the scope of the training and of the national regulations and procedures in accordance with which the training was commenced.
Notes
1 Repealed by Aviation Safety (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019/645 Pt 4(4) reg.298(2) (December 31, 2020: repeal has effect subject to savings and transitional arrangements specified in SI 2019/645 reg.427 and Sch.3)
2 Words substituted by Aviation Safety (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019/645 Pt 4(4) reg.298(3) (December 31, 2020: substitution has effect subject to savings and transitional arrangements specified in SI 2019/645 reg.427 and Sch.3
The important revision from the EASA wording is the removal of the reference to JAA which is replaced with reference to the Chicago convention. This means that the applicable training credit can be that undertaken anyway in the world if it is conducted in accordance with ICAO.
Beagle states that further clarification can be expected soon. I hope this clarification will get rid of the need to make an application to the CAA for the credits but rather leave that to a ATO/DTO to assess.
