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

A pilot licence issued by the CAA in accordance with the national requirements shall be converted into a Part-FCL licence provided that the applicant complies with the following requirements:
(a)complete as a proficiency check the revalidation requirements of Part-FCL for type and instrument rating, relevant to the privileges of the licence held;
(b)demonstrate knowledge of the relevant parts of the operational requirements and Part-FCL;
(c)demonstrate language proficiency in accordance with FCL.055;
(d)comply with the requirements set out in the following table:
CPL holders already holding a type rating for a multi-pilot helicopter are not required to have passed an examination for ATPL(H) theoretical knowledge whilst they continue to operate that same helicopter type, but will not be given ATPL(H) theory credit for a Part-FCL licence. If they require another type rating for a different multi-pilot helicopter, they must comply with column (3), row (h)(i) of the table.
