How to Be a Flight Examiner

If you are interested in being a flight examiner, you should know that AESA can enable you as authorized personnel to carry out the practical tests aimed at obtaining, renewing, and revalidating both the pilot licenses and their associated certificates.

The exercise of the privileges as a flight examiner requires precisely the provision of a specific certificate issued by the competent authority responsible for it, in accordance with the specifications provided for in the implementing regulations.

To obtain a flight examiner certificate you will have to previously take an initial theoretical course aimed at providing the competences corresponding to the exercise of this activity.

Once the theoretical phase is approved, you must carry out a practical instruction, supervised by an inspector or a senior / experienced examiner authorized by AESA.

After completing the standardisation training, it will be necessary to pass an assessment of competence before an EASA inspector.

Subsequently, AESA will issue the corresponding certificate, after checking compliance with all the precepts established for this purpose.

In the case of certificates associated with the aeroplane, helicopter and ULM categories, the certificate shall be valid for three years. For balloon and glider categories, this validity will be for a period of 5 years.
