Electronic examinations will be carried out in those institutes that teach higher-level training cycles in aeronautical maintenance that request it from AESA, once AESA considers that it is feasible by facilities and by number of examinees.

As set out in points M.A.403(b) and ML.A.403(b)(2), the pilot may defer a defect in accordance with the MEL as long as it does not require a maintenance procedure (M) to be performed, as it is not considered maintenance, and no commissioning or CRS is required.

The new rating course must be taken at an approved ATO; From 13 February 2025 SET LAND and SET SEA are no longer variants of the same rating, but are now separate ratings with separate courses given at an ATO.

No, the initial training is received exclusively in one of the variants.

If, once the variant has been registered, you wish to practice in another variant, you must take the appropriate differences or familiarisation course and record this in the logbook.

You will need to complete the appropriate familiarisation or differences course and record it in your logbook.

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.

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).

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).

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.

The procedure does not need to be carried out immediately.
