Frequently asked questions

All aircraft must comply with the obligations laid down in Law 48/1960 on Air Navigation. Article 151 provides for the following derogation: Aircraft with limited uses, technical characteristics and actions may be exempted, under the conditions laid down by regulation, from the requirements for entry in the Register of Aircraft and obtaining the certificate of airworthiness referred to in Articles 29 and 36 of this Law respectively. Royal Decree 384/2015 of 22 May 2015 approving the Regulation on the registration of civil aircraft implements this derogation for, among other types of aircraft: The following are exempt from the requirement of registration in the Aircraft Registration Register:

1.- Paragliders: Non-rigid support structures are considered paragliders, for which take-off and landing requires only the physical effort of their occupants.

2.- Motorised paragliders: Paragliders that have an auxiliary propulsion system, either supported by an occupant or by an auxiliary structure, are considered to be motorised paragliders or for engines.

3.- Other aircraft requiring physical effort for take-off or landing, even if equipped with an auxiliary propulsion system to facilitate take-off.

4.- Other aircraft whose total take-off weight, minus the pilot’s weight, is less than 70 kilograms. Therefore, foot launch paramotors and mini-trikes of less than 70 kg (empty weight + fuel) are explicitly excluded from registration. For heavier trikes, it would be necessary to consider whether paragraph 2.- can be applied, on the basis that the bearing surface is not rigid, requiring, in part, the pilot’s effort to acquire at take-off (and keep in flight) its form.

There is no type-certificate validation. To obtain the Spanish type certificate it is necessary to comply with Spanish regulations through a certification process available on the AESA website: https://sede.seguridadaerea.gob.es/sede-aesa/catalogo-de-procedimientos/certificación-de-tipo-ulm

No fee is required for the application for a flight permit.

Tariff 16 of the Fees in force for the rendering of services and performance of activities related to air navigation.

Tariff 15 of the current charges for the provision of services and activities in the field of air navigation.

In principle, to maintain the privilege as a PRA in a CAMO Y, the experience demonstrated by performing work on a CAMO X will also be considered valid.

No, it is not required.

Aeromedical assessments shall be carried out by any professional authorised by an EASA authority for that purpose.

Regulation (EU) 1178/2011: MED.C.005(c).

If your flight attendant certificate is no longer valid (unless the certificate has been suspended or revoked) you will have to re-take the initial training at an approved centre or air operator, take the associated examination and re-apply.

The issue may in this case be made in any EASA member country.

Regulation (EU)1178/2011: CC.CCA.100.

No; you can only hold a valid Flight Attendant Certificate issued by a single EASA aviation authority.

The cabin crew certificate issued by any EASA authority is recognised in all Member States and it is not necessary or possible to change certificate, issue a new one in another authority or transfer it between authorities to work for an operator in another Member State than the issuing Member State.

In this respect, the holder of a Flight Attendant Certificate must inform the operator for whom he/she is to serve as a cabin crew member of his/her possession of the certificate.

Holding more than one valid Flight Attendant Certificate may result in penalties for the holder.

Regulation (EU) 1178/2011: AMC1 ARA.GEN.315(a)

Cabin crew member certificates are issued for an unlimited duration and shall remain valid unless:

(a) suspended or revoked by the competent authority; or

(b) the holder has not exercised as a flight attendant during the preceding 60 months on at least one aircraft type; or

(c) the holder has completed the initial training more than 60 months ago without having exercised, after the issue of the certificate, as a flight attendant.

The certificate holder shall keep the necessary documents to be able to prove that the certificate is still valid.

In the event that the holder of the TCP certificate cannot prove that the certificate is still valid, the TCP certificate shall be deemed to be invalid.Para obtener de nuevo el certificado, ha de completar el curso de formación inicial.

Therefore, for the TCP certificate there is no concept of "renewal" as such.
