RENEWAL OF EXPIRED TYPE RATING:
If the type rating has expired, the applicant shall undergo a refresher training as determined by the ATO andcomplete a proficiency check in accordance with AMC 1 FCL.740(b)(1)
The objective of the refresher training is for the applicant to reach the level of proficiency necessary to safelyoperate the relevant type or class of aircraft. The amount of refresher training needed should be determined on a case-by- case basis by the ATO, as applicable, taking into account the following factors:
- the experience of the applicant;
- the amount of time elapsed since the privileges of the rating were last used;
- the complexity of the aircraft;
- whether the applicant has a current rating on another aircraft type or class; and
- where considered necessary, the performance of the applicant during a simulated proficiency check for the rating in an FSTD or an aircraft of the relevant type or
After having determined the needs of the applicant, the LMQ Training will develop an individual training programme based on the initial training for the rating, focusing on the aspects where the applicant has shown the greatest needs.
Refresher training will include theoretical knowledge instruction, as necessary, such as for type-specific system failures in complex aircraft.
After successful completion of the training, the LMQ Training will issue the applicant with a training completion certificate or another document specified by the competent authority, the training received, and a statement that the training has been successfully completed. The training completion certificate should be presented to the examiner prior to the proficiency check.
Following the successful renewal of the rating, the training completion certificate or the other document specified by the competent authority and the examiner report form should be submitted to the competent authority.
Taking into account the factors listed in above, the ATO, may also decide that the applicant already possesses the required level of proficiency and that no refresher training is necessary. In such a case, the certificate or other documental evidence will contain a respective statement including sufficient reasoning.
All the below courses are intended as minimum training and may be expanded on basis of the actual experience of the pilot.
