RENEWAL

If a type rating has expired we will evaluate the required refresher training necessary, as regulated by EASA FCL AMC1 740(b)(1) to reach the level of proficiency necessary to safely operate the aircraft. This evaluation includes consideration for factors such as:

• Total flying experience

• Experience on type to be renewed

• Experience on other aircraft types

• Date of last flight on type

• Date of last flight on another aircraft

• Differences between types

Should refresher training be required, a personalized program will be designed to provide the best training value while minimizing cost.
It will contain one or several of the following:

• 2-8 hours of refresher training in FFS

• Technical & SOP theory review

• Aircraft systems CBT

The refresher training is concluded by a proficiency check (2h FFS) in accordance with Part-FCL Appendix 9.

REVALIDATION

Our Licence Proficiency Check includes a comprehensive briefing package to fully prepare yourself for the LPC. On the day, our examiner will handle all the required documentation for the authorities, freeing you from this complicated task. We also provide a comprehensive flight planning package for you on the day, thus boosting your situational awareness during the check.

It is also possible to unfreeze an ATPL or remove your co-pilot only restrictions during the LPC, by notifying your authority in advance. We are able to conduct ATPL Skill Tests for all EASA licensing authorities.

LPC / OPC
SIMULATOR CHECK PREPARATION

Line proficiency Checks and Operational Proficiency Checks are the evaluation of your skills and knowledge in handling the aircraft. The LPC and OPC are mandatory in your aviation career. These can be intimidating to a young pilot so GATS LPC and OPC Simulator Check Preparation courses have been developed to help you build your confidence in the cockpit. We know that preparation is key to success and will help enhance your skills in managing the challenging tasks of any skill check. GATS will help you prepare for these checks and ensure that your confidence will remove any fear or nerves. We focus on enhancing cockpit management skills and laying down a solid foundation of problem-solving so that when it comes to your LPC/OPC you will feel confident in any test situation.

DOCUMENTATION SUPPORT

Renewing or revalidating a license isn't just about the proficiency check. National licensing authorities all have specific requirements which must be complied with before and during the proficiency check, and also when submitting license paperwork. We research applicable national differences to EASA regulations and apply them to the proficiency check or training package.

Once the proficiency check is complete we will send the required paperwork to the authority. As some EASA countries have slightly different procedures for processing and acknowledging LPCs, we follow every Proficiency Check all the way until the paperwork and license are concluded.
