For the exercise of flight privileges the aeronautical medical certificate associated with the licence must be in force. In this case, when a PPL licence is held, the corresponding medical certificate is class 2 and regardless of the current LAPL medical certificate. To continue with the exercise of flight privileges of the PPL licence, the Class 2 medical certificate must be in force.

The aeronautical medical certificate may be renewed at an Aeronautical Medical Centre or Air Examination Medical Centre provided that it is authorised by the Aeronautical Authority of an EASA Member State. Once the AeMC or AME has been completed, a copy of the medical records resulting from the renewal must be sent to AESA.

For the exercise of the flight privileges of the licence, the aeronautical medical certificate associated with the licence shall be in force.

Ratings have a period of validity during which the flight privileges of the licence may be exercised provided that you additionally have in force the aeronautical medical certificate associated with your licence and the language proficiency in force at least one language recognised by the Aeronautical Authority

• Revalidation involves carrying out the procedure to maintain the vigor of the exercise of flight privileges. The revalidation procedure is always carried out before the rating expires.
• Renewal means that the authorisation has expired and that the revalidation procedure has not been carried out in time and form. In this case, if you want to put your rating into force again, it will be renewed through an authorised training centre.

The information note contains the content in force of the FCL license You can request an information note via AESA’s Electronic Headquarters or by application request

In connection with the verification of the FCL licence, the aeronautical authority of the ICAO Third Country may request it by sending your request to the following email address licpiloto.aesa@seguridadaerea.es

In the event that a request needs to be remedied, due to lack of documentation or any other reason, it must be answered within 10 working days. After the deadline, no documentation has been provided, it is considered that the application has been withdrawn.

The reason why we refuse authorisation in this case is because Law 39/2015 on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations (LPACAP) requires AESA to reply within a certain period.

In the event of a refusal of this kind, the procedure may be re-opened without any problems. In addition, the documentation submitted in the rejected application will continue to be taken into account in the event that it has not become invalid.

In some cases, where the findings detected during the inspection on an aircraft prove to be major or serious breaches for operational safety, the different Participating States may decide to revoke the entry permit of that aircraft. In such a situation, the aircraft or all of the aircraft forming part of the operator, as the case may be, shall not be able to operate or fly in the airspace of Spain. If the ban is imposed only on the inspected aircraft, it may not operate in any other State, since it cannot leave Spanish airspace. This prohibition may be lifted if the aircraft operator demonstrates that the problems have been properly addressed and corrected in accordance with the instructions required by the authority. Therefore, the revocations of the operating permit can, and are usually, temporary in nature.

With regard to these prohibitions and their subsequent lifting, participating States which are also members of the European Union shall act in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 on the establishment of a Community list of air carriers subject to an operating ban within the Union.

In accordance with the requirement set out in Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012, ARO.RAMP.145 Reports, Participating States are also including information from the centralised database on their monitoring measures. This information makes it possible to assess the ability and willingness of operators to rectify the findings identified during ramp inspections and is used in subsequent analyses of the generated data.
