Are EU sanctions also applicable to pilot training, testing and checking for aircraft listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 (‘‘EASA Basic Regulation’’), such as microlights?

Answer
Yes. Since the scope of the Sanctions Regulations is much broader than that of the EASA Basic Regulation, the Sanctions Regulations apply to pilot training, testing, and checking for all types of aircraft, even if they do not fall within the scope of the common EU aviation safety legislation. However, training (and associated testing and checking) for the purpose of private pilot licences and related ratings with Union training providers is allowed in aircraft that have a maximum seating capacity of 4 persons and a maximum take-off mass of no more than 2000 kg.
