Licence endorsements

New endorsements

Changes to licence endorsements in Danish issued flight crew licences.

Due to misunderstandings in relation to privileges endorsed in pilot licences, the Danish Civil Aviation and Railway Authority has made adjustments in order to make licence endorsements more clear.

At the same time, the cross-credit procedure under Regulation 1178/2011 Appendix 8 has been amended

The new guidelines imply that:

• Only the privileges stated in the certificate may be exercised

• The MEP(land)/IR and SEP(land)/IR endorsements are no longer used

• Instrument privileges assigned to the classes SEP(land) and MEP(land) will be renamed IR(A)/SEP and IR(A)MEP and these will be on a separate line in the licence

• On all single-pilot classes and types, the privileges will be entered on two lines in the licence if these includes instrument privileges. In this case, there will be a line belonging to the class / type rating for example PC12, and a line that only belongs to the instrument rating, for example IR/PC12.

• If cross-credit is desired, the pilot must follow the cross credit application procedure.

• In  the future, cross-credit will only be granted for classes and types where the pilot holds valid instrument privileges in the licence.

Holders of the privileges, MEP(land) with instrument flight privileges will look like this (Example A):

EXAMPLE A

A holder of a PC12 with instrument privileges must have these lines in the licence, see (Example B):

EXAMPLE B

In this case, the pilot may fly PC12 until 30.04.2023, but after 30.04.2022 the privileges may only be exercised VFR.

If the class or type rating expires before the applied instrument rating as in this example (Example C):

EXAMPLE C

Here, the Bell206 privilege can be used until 31.05.2022 including the instrument privileges, but after 31.05.2022 no Bell206 privileges may be exercised, neither according to visual nor instrument flight rules.

Rules for MP aircraft are unchanged and these privileges will still be issued on one line only ie A320/IR etc. General requirements for licence entry still apply.

Guidelines for cross credit.

See Appendix 8 for details

Fixed wings

• MPA and HPCA types provide credit for IR(A)SEP and single-engine types if the pilot can document having flown 3 IFR departures and approaches exercising PBN privileges, within 12 months prior to the application. At least one of these must be an RNP APCH approach on an SP class or type of aeroplane in SP operations

• MPA and HPCA types give credit to IR(A)MEP if the pilot has flown section 6 of the SP non-HPCA form

• Single-pilot multi-engine classes excluding HPCA types give credit to IR(A)SEP and IR(A)MEP as well as single-engine types. No additional requirements

• Single-pilot multi-engine classes and types that are not HPCA but are limited to MP give credit to IR(A)SEP and single-engine types if the pilot can document having flown 3 IFR departures and approaches, exercising PBN privilegess within 12 months prior to the application. At least one of these must be an RNP APCH approach on an SP class or type of aeroplane in SP operations

• Single-pilot multi-engine classes and types that are not HPCA but are limited to MP gives credit to IR(A)MEP if the pilot has flown section 6 of the SP non-HPCA form

• Singles-pilot single-engine classes and types give credit to IR(A)SEP and single-engine types. No additional requirements

No cross credit is given to MPA and HPCA types

Cross credit has the same expiration date as the IR on the privilege that was cross credited from. An example could be a pilot who holds MEP(land) and IR(A)MEP and on 30.11.2021 performs a proficiency check on A320/IR. See in "red text"  example D below how the Examiner can endorse the licence:

Example D

Credit can only be given to types and classes where there already is a valid instrument privilege. This means that if the pilot holds for example a PC12 without attached /IR, no cross credit can be given.

Helicopter

• MPH gives credit to single-engine types and multi-engine single-pilot types if the pilot can document having flown 3 IFR departures and approaches exercising PBN privileges within 12 months prior to application. At least one of these must be an RNP APCH approach on an SP type of helicopter in SP operations.

• A single-pilot multi-engine type flown by a pilot gives credit to single-engine types and multi-engine single-pilot types if the pilot can document having flown 3 IFR departures and approaches exercising PBN privileges within 12 months prior to application. At least one of these must be an RNP APCH approach on an SP type of helicopter in SP operations.

• Single-pilot multi-engine type limited to MP gives credit to single-engine types and multi-engine single-pilot types if the pilot can document having flown 3 IFR departures and approaches exercising PBN privileges within 12 months prior to application. At least one of these must be an RNP APCH approach on an SP type of helicopter in SP operations

• Single-pilot single-engine type flown by one pilot gives credit to single-pilot single-engine types no further requirements

Credit is only given to single-engine helicopters and single-pilot multi-engine helicopters

Cross credit has the same expiration date as the IR on the privilege that was cross credited. See example above on fixed wings.

Credit can only be given to types where there already is a valid instrument privilege. This means that if the pilot holds for example a Bell206 without attached /IR, no cross credit can be given.
