FCL.900

FCL.900
Anybody out there working at an EASA ATO outside EU land got a FCL.900 certificate? (= permission to instruct at an overseas ATO under supervision of EASA licensed HT when holding equivalent ICAO but non-EASA licences.)
If so, from which EASA-land NAA?
Otherwise there is a sticking point. FCL.900 to be issued by The Competent Authority. For 'overseas' ATOs that is EASA itself in Koln. But no mechanism for EASA HQ to issue licences, ratings or certificates.
Another black hole in the EASA regulations......?

We are in just this situation and it is infuriating and yet another impediment of being under direct oversight.

This was just another ill thought-out and ill-enacted bit of the EASA regulation.
The good news is that EASA HQ are aware of the problem, and are under pressure from at least two 'overseas' ATOs to come up with a solution. But meanwhile said ATOs are looking for a short-term solution.
I am aware that one NAA is issuing FCL.900s to at least 3 x ATOs.....

The UK CAA have a commercial arm called CAA International that approves and maintains oversight on overseas schools. It is how the UK EASA training schools work overseas and as a result they use the FCL.900 permission to accept training given by non EASA Instructors.
If you are working in a school that operates under this approval then the school will organise your standardisation and approval. It is not a rating that you can get outside of a school. It is not a rating that can be exercised in any EASA country either.
I am surprised to hear the French DGAC do this as I was not aware they approved foreign schools.

Has anyone heard of an EASA FCL 900 (a) ? What is the difference?

EASA FCL.900(a) refers to an instructor certificate issued in accordance with Part-FCL Subpart J, such as an instructor certificate entered in Section XII of a pilot's EASA Part-FCL licence.
