I have 2 questions regarding SFIs and SFEs:
1) Are SFIs and SFEs a JAA/EASA created position/job or does it apply to ICAO as well (asking this because I was only able to find those titles and their privileges/requirements in JAR-FCL documents but not on any ICAO Regulations).
2) I just read JAR-FCL concerning an SFE (A) and I'm a bit confused. It satates that you can be an SFE (A) as long as you hold an ATPL (A) or entitles to work as an SFI (A). So, since you do not need a medical certificate to be an SFI, do you meed a medical certificate to be an SFE?
The only reason Im asking this is due to my local CAA asking for licences, certificates and medical certificates from SFIs and SFEs from the FTO I'm applying to for a type rating, which is in Europe. Naturally my local CAA wants to check on them before they authorise me to carry out training outside the country but its going slow.
Any help is appreciated.
