TRAINING AND TESTING FOR A
SINGLE-ENGINE PISTON (SEA) CLASS
RATING
Flight Training
The SEP (Sea) Class Rating requirements currently
call for a minimum of 5 hours dual instruction in SEP
(Sea) aircraft with a JAA authorised Flying Training
Organisation (FTO), covering all elements appropriate
to the Class Rating Skill Test.
Ground Training
The applicant must have gained a pass in the
Seamanship examination (at Private or Professional
level as appropriate to the privileges required) within
the 12 months prior to rating application. A guide to the
examination and the syllabus is given in Appendix A.
The applicant for the rating must have a valid pass in
the relevant Theoretical Knowledge examination (an
oral examination as part of the Skill Test).
Flight Test
Upon completion of the training mentioned previously
the applicant will be required to pass the SEP (Sea)
Class Rating Skill Test with a suitably authorised JAA
examiner. You should be aware that the result of this
flight test is valid for 12 months only and application for
the rating must be made within this time period.
RE-VALIDATION OF A SINGLE-ENGINE
PISTON (SEA) CLASS RATING
The privileges of a SEP (Sea) may be revalidated
within the current validity of a rating by passing a
proficiency check with an authorised Flight Examiner
(FE(A)) or Class Rating Examiner (CRE(A)) within the
three months preceding the expiry date of the rating
without loss of validity period. Alternatively, they may
be revalidated on flying experience by producing
logbook evidence to an authorised examiner of having
in the 12 calendar months preceding the expiry date of
the rating completed 12 hours of flight time in SEP
(Land or Sea) including 6 hours as pilot-in-command
and at least 12 take-offs and alightings on water.
Provided the examiner signs the Certificate of
Revalidation page within the 12 months prior to the
rating expiry, the revalidated rating will run from the
date the existing rating would have expired. This
experience must include a single flight of at least one
hour with an instructor (authorised in accordance with
JAR-FCL to instruct for the JAR-FCL SEP rating) for
which the appropriate log book entry has been
countersigned by the flight instructor. This instructional
flight may be replaced by successfully undertaking any
other skill test or proficiency check for a class or type
rating.
