Revalidation and Renewal of Class and Type Ratings
About the Course
We can revalidate or renew your Airbus A320, Boeing 737 Type Rating, Instrument Rating and Class Rating for SEP and MEP.
Validity Period: The period of validity of class and type ratings shall be 1 year, except for single-pilot single-engine class ratings, for which the period of validity shall be 2 years.
Renewal
If a class or type rating has expired, the applicant shall take the following steps:
- Take refresher training at an ATO, where necessary to reach the level of proficiency to safely operate the relevant class or type of aircraft.
- Pass a Proficiency Check.
The amount of refresher training needed will be determined on a case-by-case basis, 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.
- 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 class.
Revalidation
Multi-Engine Class Rating and Type Rating
- Pass a Proficiency Check, within 3 months preceding the expiry date of the rating;
- Complete during the period of validity of the rating, at least:
- 10 route sectors as pilot of the relevant class or type of aeroplane;
- 1 route sector as pilot of the relevant class or type of aeroplane or FFS, flown with an examiner. This route sector may be flown during the proficiency check.
The revalidation of an en route instrument rating (EIR) or an IR(A), if held, may be combined with a proficiency check for the revalidation of a class or type rating.
Single-Engine Class Rating
For revalidation of single-pilot single-engine piston aeroplane class ratings or TMG class ratings the applicant shall:
- Pass a Proficiency Check, within 3 months preceding the expiry date of the rating.
- Within 12 months preceding the expiry date of the rating, complete 12 hours of flight time in the relevant class, including:
- 6 hours as PIC.
- 12 take-offs and 12 landings, and refresher training of at least 1 hour of total flight time with a Flight Instructor (FI) or a Class Rating Instructor (CRI). Applicants shall be exempted from this refresher training if they have passed a class or type rating proficiency check, skill test or assessment of competence in any other class or type of aeroplane.
