Another EASA licence conundrum

[stingerdinger]

The CAA staff examiners used to have a blanket examiner rating to test on any type, rated or not, but I don't know if that rule has gone with EASA or not.

I'm sure they would tell you if you give one of them a call.

That is precisely the problem, it is no longer possible for the UK CAA to by-pass the system and all examiners must now hold the qualification for which they are examining.

[idle stop]

To be fair to the CAA, they recently gave an Exemption to another UK FE to examine me on an Annex II type for which I am otherwise the only UK examiner.
I think you'll find that they will look at each case on its merits.
But their hands ARE tied if it's an EASA type.
