Application for extension or renewal of a teaching authorisation in accordance with Regulation (EU) 1178/2011

If you hold an instructor rating as a flight instructor and would like to continue this activity beyond the period of validity of the rating, you must apply for an extension or renewal from the competent state authority. Such instructor authorisations are the flight instructor certificate (FI) and the certificate for instructors for class ratings (CRI).

• Proof of the requirements for renewing the teaching licence
• Proof of participation in a refresher seminar for authorised instructors
• Proof that a competence assessment has been carried out

Details of the required documents can be found on the application form.

At least two of the following requirements must be met within the validity period:

• for an FI(A) instructor rating, at least 50 hours of flight instruction in the appropriate aircraft category as an FI, CRI or as an examiner
• completed refresher training for FI instructors at an Approved Training Organisation (ATO) or at the competent authority
• Competency assessment passed within the last 12 months immediately prior to the expiry date of the FI certificate (mandatory for FI(A) for every second renewal)

At least two of the following requirements must be met within the validity period:

• at least 10 hours of flight instruction as a CRI
  (in the case of CRI privileges for single-engine and multi-engine aeroplanes, equally divided between the two)
• passed refresher training as a CRI with an ATO or a competent authority
• passed competency assessment for multi-engine or single-engine aeroplanes (mandatory for every second revalidation for CRI)

For Expired FI or CRI Certificates:

You can obtain the required application form and the form for proof of the requirements here via Amt24 or via the portal of the Landesdirektion Sachsen, Referat Luftverkehr und Binnenschifffahrt.

• Submit the completed and signed application form and the form for proof of requirements, including all required documents, to the competent authority.
• The competent authority will check whether the requirements for the extension have been met.
• If the decision is positive, the entry is made in the licence.

Note: If a competence assessment is carried out as part of the renewal, the examiner is entitled to make the entry in the licence manually, provided that the requirements are met. The examiner sends the required documents to the competent body.
