Procedure for Designating Examiners to Conduct Skill Tests

ARA.FCL.205 Monitoring of Examiners requires that the competent authority develops procedures to designate examiners for conducting skill tests.

The Danish Civil Aviation Authority has implemented the following procedure:

  1. Designation of Examiners for SET(A) Skill Tests:
    • For all skill tests related to the issuance of single-engine turbine (SET) type ratings, the Danish Authority will designate an examiner for each specific test.
  2. Notification Requirements:
    • Approved Training Organizations (ATOs) must notify the Danish Authority of upcoming SET skill tests according to the procedures outlined in the "Booking and Notification" section on examiner.dk and EDD 2.4.1.
    • The notification must include:
      • The expected/actual amount of training (flight training).
      • The ATO's preferred examiner for the test.
  3. Response from the Danish Authority:
    • The Danish Authority will review the notification and provide confirmation of the designated examiner for the test.
    • If necessary, the Authority may make adjustments to the date or time of the test.
  4. Recommendation for Efficient Coordination:
    • To facilitate approval of the requested examiner or to appoint an alternative examiner, it is strongly recommended that the ATO submits the notification:
      • During regular office hours on working days.
      • As early as possible to allow sufficient time for coordination.

This procedure ensures compliance with ARA.FCL.205 and promotes a structured and transparent process for the designation of examiners.
