# Commission Decision of 6 February 2014 authorising Sweden and the United Kingdom to derogate from certain common aviation safety rules pursuant to Article 14(6) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document C(2014) 559) (Text with EEA relevance) (2014/69/EU), Division 1: DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Provision FCL.905.SFI(a) in Part-FCL stipulates that the privileges of an SFI are to carry out synthetic flight instruction, within the relevant aircraft category, for: ‘(a) the issue, revalidation and renewal of an IR, provided that he/she holds or has held an IR in the relevant aircraft category and has completed an IRI training course’, and (IRI) course.
By a letter received by the Commission on 27 November 2012, the Government of the United Kingdom (UK) notified the Commission and EASA of their intention to derogate from FCL.905.SFI(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 (the Aircrew Regulation), on the basis of Article 14(6) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 (the Basic Regulation).
The UK proposed to separate the requirement for the IRI course and the privilege to instruct for an initial IR from the other SFI requirements and to allow SFI, who have not completed IRI training, to provide training for the revalidation and renewal of the type-specific IR.
