Regarding Integrated course training, I would like to confirm if for SPIC training IR phase, an IRI is required. EASA says " "Student pilot-in-command" (SPIC) means a student pilot acting as pilot-in-command on a flight with an instructor where the latter will only observe the student pilot and shall not influence or control the flight of the aircraft".
If the FI is not allowed to provide training in these flights, is he required to comply with FCL.905.FI FI (h)?
As HT I have many doubts about which kind of instructor FI is required for each phase of the integrated ATPL program. FCL requires:
"4. The course shall comprise:
(a) theoretical knowledge instruction to the ATPL(A) knowledge level;
(b) visual and instrument flying training;
(c) training in MCC for the operation of multi-pilot aeroplanes; and
(d) UPRT in accordance with FCL.745.A unless applicants have already
completed this training course before starting the ATP integrated course."

When it is DUAL training is clear: ""Dual instruction time" means flight time or instrument ground time during which a person is receiving flight instruction from a properly authorised instructor. "

Thank you for any support anyone likes to provide. How a formal question could be addressed to EASA?

Dear members,

I would like to bring your attention to the sailplane commercial operations within member states of the EU. As Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1976 (SAO) defines in Article 3 - Air operations (2), operators of
sailplanes shall engage in commercial operations only after having declared to the competent authority their capacity and means to discharge the responsibilities associated with the operation of the sailplane.

Furthermore, SAO.DEC.100 Declaration defines conditions for how to declare and what information shall be included in the declaration template (Appendix 1.)

Despite those requirements, I just want to precise, taking into account the member state's experience and practice, if there is any additional information, document, or manual requested by the member state to be prepared by the sailplane commercial operator.

Thank you!
Have a good day!
