Tri restricted

[gianninipilot]

It is written in FCL.910 that a TRI that did his training in sim only, he can perform "Line flying under supervision" what does that really mean? That someone sits in the cockpit with him and watches the training OR that the training is supervised by eg the Training Manager of the company or ATO?

Does that mean that a TRI restricted can actually perform aircraft training?
Or he has to do the AoC (assessment of competence) in an aircraft by a TRE to remove the "restricted"?

The "restricted" in the past was used for abnormal and emergency training...now this does not exist anymore....

Can someone clarify this?

LIFUS is line training effectively, so a rated pilot learning to operate the aircraft, mainly used in airlines.

A TRI restricted to sim only can do just that, sim only. Further training is required for LIFUS. If you want aircraft privileges such as non-normals, type rating (base training) then you will have to pass an AOC with a TRE who also has those privileges on the aircraft.

If you have both, revalidation can only be achieved for both with a single aircraft check or a sim and aircraft check.

what do we have to do to get the LIFUS extension?

Is it only training under the supervision of a TRI or are we supposed to get an AoC while doing LIFUS training?

[nick14]

We have sim training, check, and line training under supervision but I guess each company manual is different.

The regs merely state further training for this privilege should be undertaken.

I am an similar situation CAA UK holder here.

I did the A320 TRI course with my previous EASA company (the 10hrs where, according to their syllabus LIFUS additional training was included) unfortunately I did the Aoc in the Sim but I left the company for a non EASA operator before I could do the AOC in the aircraft.

In order to add LIFUS I just need to do an Aoc with an EASA TRE in the aircraft? Is my understading correct?

what is your opinion on that?

thx for help

As I understand it LIFUS is for trainee who have qualified on a level D sim and who were on a zero flight time type rating therefore the first time they fly the real aircraft is when they have passengers in the back. Normal line training under Part CAT does not require any EASA FCL specific training.
