FE(A) IAA
Hi guys,
I'm looking for info & suggestions on how to get the FE(A) qualification as IAA license holder, I'm fully compliant with all requirements. Any help? thanks |
It took me a few years to do this. IAA don't offer courses themselves. One ato in Ireland do (aft I think) but despite having asked them multiple times to do it they didn't contact me when they ran the course. Finally I spoke to on-track who have an approved course under Danish Authority. Ireland accepted this and now I have my FE. Very happy with ontrack and my examiner instructor Simon.

What's an FE(A) ?
|
Designated Pilot Examiner in American English. It stands for Flight Examiner (Aeroplanes)

Can you share any additional information on the process? How did you go about getting IAA pre-approval to take the course? Did they accept the skills test from On-track or did you do a further skills test with an IAA examiner? How did you find OnTrack and anythign you'd do differently if you were starting the process again? Any info you can share would be great. Thanks. |
You need to apply to IAA for permission to do the course, the form is RPPLF399E which unhelpfully is not on the IAA website. On track provided the form for me. They also managed the process with the IAA. Once you do the course (3 days), you still have to do an assessment of competence flight with a senior examiner (basically a mock LST / PC). Like most things in aviation, it's overly complicated but once you know the process it's manageable.

Thanks for that - very helpful. Was the AoC with the IAA in Ireland or was that done by On Track in the UK too? Thanks. |
