Unfortunately things have change since the EASA, and now the foreign FE must be briefed by the CAA
Could you please quote chapter and verse legislation where that is stated, i.e. the appropriate sections of EU Regulation 1178/2011 and Part FCL AMC?
Cancel my last.
It is in EU Reg 1178/2011 Annex I Appendix 9.
CONDUCT OF THE TEST/CHECK
6. The examiner may choose between different skill test or proficiency check scenarios containing simulated relevant operations developed and approved by the competent authority. Full flight simulators and other training devices, when available, shall be used, as established in this Part.
Then again, what they are briefed to do, what they say they are going to do, what they sign off on the form as having been done and what is actually done can be (and probably are) very different things.
