PART-FCL 620 (c)
I have some questions about Part-FCL 620 (c) which went into effect on April 8th last year, and which now grants IR-SE to those who pass the IR-ME skill test provided they hold a SE class or type rating.
1) First of all it does not appear in the consolidated version of Aircrew dated August 2020, but it does appear in the Easy Access Rules. I am wondering why that is...
2) If a person obtained the IR-ME prior to April 8th 2020, and held a SE class or type rating at the time of the the skill test, or obtained a SE class or type rating after having completed the skill test, will he/she be granted the IR-SE? That would constitute retro-activity which is something I believe is not customary in our legal systems, but I may be wrong.
3) If a person has previously held a IR-SE rating (expired), and now revalidates IR-ME, will he/she be granted a revalidation of IR-SE? As far as I cant tell from the current Part-FCL; that is not the case either but it does not sound reasonable especially since AFAIK no changes have been made to the skill test requirements...
Thanks
Hello.
I think answers of your questions are as bellow.
1. The main registration 1178/2012 is ammended by Regulation (EU) 2020/359 in 2020 and is publushed in EASA website. Consolidated versions or Easy accesses are only for easy access. Official regulations or Decisions for AMC GM are published in another form.
2. I understand that a holder of a license who passed skill test of IR on multi engine aircraft but which is at the same time is single pilot aircraft, will get both ME IR and SE IR (if they have also SE class or type rating) but only for those pilots, who would pass skill test after April 8th of 2020.
So after April 8th of 2020, if someone has both SE and single pilot ME rating (class or type) at the same time there is no need to pass two separate skill tests for SE IR and ME SE IR, if skill test was performed on single pilot multi engine aircraft.
3. Yes the person will be grant SE IR if he revalidates IR on single pilot ME aircraft. But after 8th of April of 2020.
For skill test see Appendix 7
Better to see Regulation (EU) 2020/359
