Single-pilot and multi-pilot operation

1. (1)

   A pilot who holds a type rating for an aircraft type with single-pilot or multi-pilot operation privileges is to be treated as having fulfilled the theoretical requirements when applying to add the other form of operation for the same aircraft type.

2. (2)

   Such a pilot must complete the additional flight training required for the other form of operation in the relevant aircraft type in accordance with Appendix 9 to this Annex unless specified in operational suitability data established in accordance with Annex I (Part 21) of Regulation (EU) No748/2012. This training must be completed at either:

   1. (i)

      an ATO; or

   2. (ii)

      an organisation to which Annex III (Part-ORO) to Regulation 965/2012 applies which is entitled to provide such training on the basis of either an approval or, in the case of single-pilot helicopters, a declaration.

3. (3)

   The form of operation must be entered in the pilot’s licence unless the privilege relates to single-pilot helicopters.

4. (4)

   In the case of single-pilot helicopters the following requirements apply:

   1. (i)

      where a pilot completed a skill test or a proficiency check for a non-complex single-pilot type rating in multi-pilot operations only, their licence must be endorsed with a restriction to a multi-pilot operation type rating. This endorsement may be removed when the applicant completes a proficiency check that includes the necessary elements for single-pilot operation as specified in Appendix 9 to this Annex.

   2. (ii)

      in all other cases the form of operation must not be entered in the licence and the pilot is entitled to exercise the privileges of the type rating:

      1. (A)

         in single-pilot operation provided that the skill test or proficiency check was either:

         1. (1)

            completed in single-pilot operation; or

         2. (2)

            completed in multi-pilot operation and contained additional elements for single-pilot operation as specified in Appendix 9 to this Annex.

      2. (B)

         in multi-pilot operation under the following conditions:

         1. (1)

            the pilot meets the requirements of point FCL.720.H(a)(2);

         2. (2)

            the privileges are exercised in accordance with Annex III (Part-ORO) to Regulation (EU) No965/2012 only; and

         3. (3)

            the skill test or proficiency check was completed in multi-pilot operation.
