Frequently asked questions
I already have the required experience to revalidate my qualification, how much earlier can I apply?
Since 13 February last, the annotations listed below have been grouped into a single SET LAND and/or SET SEA annotation, as appropriate.
The EASA Endorsement List is a document drawn up and published by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for both aeroplanes and helicopters; these lists constitute the aircraft class and type categorisations in accordance with FCL.010 (aircraft category, aeroplane class and aircraft type) and FCL.700 of Annex I (Part-FCL) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 of 3 November 2011 as well as GM1 FCL.700. These documents provide users with a consolidated overview of the established type rating designations and associated licence endorsements standardised across all Member States.
The document is available on the EASA website via the following link:
There are two ways to update the licence with the new endorsement for pilots who currently hold one or more of the ratings listed in this note:
- accompanying the next movement of the licence, even if that movement is not for the purpose of updating this rating.
- by means of a request for updating the annotation by the holders of these ratings. In this case, a specific request has been created for this purpose. Click here to access the application.
If they are also instructors/examiners of the relevant classes, they will also receive updated certificates when applications are processed through either of the following two channels.
The procedure does not need to be carried out immediately.
The issue of the licence with the updated SET LAND and/or SET SEA class rating can be processed:
- on the next movement to be made on the licence or
- by requesting an update of the annotation through the specific request created for this purpose. Click here to access the application form.
Depending on the particular situation of your licence there are two possible cases:
- Case 1: The person concerned holds only one of the ratings whose endorsement is being amended. The date of validity of the SET LAND or SET SEA rating shall be the same as that currently held in the rating being amended.
In the case of being the holder of a rating that prior to 13/02/2025 had LAND and SEA variants, for the endorsement of the new SET LAND and/or SET SEA rating, flights in the variants to be endorsed must be accredited and, if so accredited, two endorsements will be obtained (SET LAND and SET SEA) with the validity date previously held.
- Case 2: The person concerned holds two or more of the ratings whose endorsement is being amended.
The date of validity of the SET LAND and/or SET SEA rating shall be the most valid date with respect to the current dates of the ratings being amended. In the case of having LAND flights and SEA flights in the same or different ratings, they shall be credited and the validity date shall proceed with the validity date in the same way as in Case 1.
No, for revalidation of the SET class rating it is only necessary to comply with the revalidation requirements of FCL.740.A(b)(3) in one of the variants.
The exercise of privileges on the remaining SET variants held shall be in accordance with FCL.710(d).
Whether the pilot can exercise privileges in all variants or not shall be known to the person concerned, who shall be responsible for verifying that he/she complies with the requirements of FCL.710(d).
He shall undertake the new rating course at an approved ATO. From 13 February 2025 SET LAND and SET SEA are no longer variants of the same rating, becoming separate ratings with separate courses taught at an ATO.
