CRI & TRI revalidation change proposals
In NPA 2014-29, EASA proposes to change TRI(A) and CRI revalidation requirements.
Currently, all instructors are required to meet certain criteria for revalidation; these are ‘experience (the required flight training delivered to others)’, ‘refresher training’ and ‘assessment of competence’.

Hitherto, for a CRI or TRI(A) only one of these criteria had to be met; however, EASA now proposes that all instructors (FI, TRI and CRI) must meet two out of the three, with the assessment of competence being mandatory for at least each alternate revalidation.
