The competent authority shall notify the Agency of the national administrative procedures, requirements for protection of personal data, liability, accident insurance and fees applicable in its territory, which shall be used by examiners when conducting skill tests, proficiency checks or assessments of competence of an applicant for which the competent authority is not the same that issued the examiner’s certificate.
  2. To facilitate dissemination and access to the information received from competent authorities under (a), the Agency shall publish this information according to a format prescribed by it.

  2. When revalidating a rating, an instructor or an examiner certificate, the competent authority, or an examiner specifically authorised by the competent authority, shall extend the validity period of the rating or certificate until the end of the relevant month.
  3. The competent authority, or an examiner specifically authorised for that purpose by the competent authority, shall enter the expiry date on the licence or the certificate.
  4. The competent authority may develop procedures to allow privileges to be exercised by the licence or certificate holder for a maximum period of 8 weeks after successful completion of the applicable examination(s), pending the endorsement on the licence or certificate.

ARA.FCL.220 Procedure for the re-issue of a pilot licence - Regulation (EU) No 290/2012

  1. The competent authority shall re-issue a licence whenever necessary for administrative reasons and:
    1. after initial issue of a rating; or
    2. when paragraph XII of the licence established in Appendix I to this Part is completed and no further spaces remain.

    4. exercising the privileges of a licence, rating or certificate when adversely affected by alcohol or drugs;
    5. non-compliance with the applicable operational requirements;
    6. evidence of malpractice or fraudulent use of the certificate; or

  2. The competent authority may also limit, suspend or revoke a licence, rating or certificate upon the written request of the licence or certificate holder.
  3. All skill tests, proficiency checks or assessments of competence conducted during suspension or after the revocation of an examiner’s certificate will be invalid.
