SFI/SFE
I am very shortly going to reach 65 and therefore retirement from active commercial flying duties. I am the holder of an UK issued EASA ATPL, current type rating and class one medical, and wanting to become an SFI/SFE. I was previously a TRI/TRE but now expired. Have looked around various publications but cannot find a definitive answer to the following : As a SFI/SFE post 65 years old, will I need to maintain a current ATPL with class one medical and still be type rated to act as an SFI/SFE on that type ? If you could point me in the direction of the correct publications would be most grateful. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

You don’t need a medical for SFE / SFI. It is all in EASA regs.
