Hello all,
Quick question about MEIR (PBN) Revalidation (still valid) in FSTD.
FCL.625.A states :
(3) An FNPT II or an FFS representing the relevant class or type of aeroplane may be used in the case of paragraph (2), but at least each alternate proficiency check for the revalidation of an IR(A) in these circumstances shall be performed in an aeroplane.
I found a document on the EASA website that states To obtain the PBN privilege or maintain it, at least one approach during your skill test/LPC shall be a RNP APCH. Mind to check the capability of the FSTD if you are doing your LPC on an FSTD. To check this, you need to look at the FSTD certificate. Part 4 of the certificate “training, testing and checking considerations” indicate if an FSTD is capable for: RNP APCH LNAV, RNP APCH LNAV/VNAV, RNP APCH LPV, RNP AR APCH. If either of these are available, this FSTD can be used for establishing or revalidation of your PBN endorsement .
I would like to do the skill test in a FSTD, on the CAA certificate, it is approved for RNP APCH LNAV, LNAV/VNAV and LPV. The sim is an AL-250, certified as "MEP (GENERIC)".
Is is ok to perform the skill test on it as long as it is RNP approved or does the "MEP (GENERIC)" thing disturb this logic ?
Thanks for your help
