ABOUT US

The Danish Civil Aviation and Railway Authority (DCARA) is an agency under the Ministry of Transport, responsible for overseeing parts of the Danish railway network and major ferry routes. On April 15, 2010, the agency merged with the National Traffic Authority. Later, on November 1, 2010, the Civil Aviation Administration also merged with DCARA.

Important Notice:
Danish-certified examiners are expected to adhere to the latest version of the Flight Examiner Manual (FEM).

Welcome to the Examiner Portal

Additionally, this system facilitates communication between the authority and examiners.

 

How to Sign Up

This information should be sent to examiner@trafikstyrelsen.dk. If you wish to have your details listed in the examiner directory, please specify this in your email.

The Examiner System

Following the implementation of Commission Regulation (EU) No. 1178/2011 on April 8, 2013, significant changes were introduced to the examiner system in Denmark. A key change is that skill test examiners are no longer employed by the authority and, therefore, are not covered by its insurance system.

DCARA strongly recommends that examiners obtain personal insurance before conducting any tests, checks, or assessments.

Part-FCL Subpart K, along with its associated AMC and GM, outlines examiner requirements and privileges. DCARA maintains a public examiner list, including privileges and contact details. For information on becoming an examiner or renewing privileges, see: "Procedures" → "Issue and Recurrent."

 

Booking and Notification 

Examiners coordinate skill tests, proficiency checks, and instructor assessments directly with the ATO/applicant.

Notification Requirements:

  • Skill tests & initial instructor assessments: Notify DCARA at least 5 days in advance.
  • Tests & assessments in Denmark: Notification may be sent 2 working days in advance.
  • ATPL skill tests: Require 14 days' notice.
  • SET type rating skill tests: Require 5 days' notice.

Examiners must follow the designation procedure for these tests, available under “Procedures.”

Notifications should be sent to: flighttestbookings@trafikstyrelsen.dk.
After completion, all required documentation (as per Examiner Differences Document 2.4.2) must be sent to license@trafikstyrelsen.dk.

Note:

  • Proficiency checks do not require prior notification.
  • Requests for examiner assessments of competence should be sent to examiner@trafikstyrelsen.dk. These will be conducted by an inspector or a senior examiner appointed by DCARA.

 

Testing Non-Danish License Holders

Danish examiners conducting tests, checks, or assessments for non-Danish licence holders must follow the guidelines outlined in the Examiner differences document.

 

Examiner Supervision

DCARA is committed to monitoring examiner performance. Inspectors may observe examiners during tests, checks, or assessments. Examiners will be notified in advance if a supervision is planned. This applies to both Danish certified Examiners and non-Danish examiners conducting tests, checks and assessments for Danish licence holders.
