Frequently asked questions

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.
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.

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:

1. accompanying the next movement of the licence, even if that movement is not for the purpose of updating this rating.
2. 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.

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.

Since 13 February last, the annotations listed below have been grouped into a single SET LAND and/or SET SEA annotation, as appropriate.
 

No, AESA is under no obligation to respond or send any acknowledgement of receipt of your statement. 

However, the owner or person responsible for the maintenance and maintenance of airworthiness must keep the proof of the notification as proof that the notification has been made. 
 
If due to the impossibility of carrying out the online procedure, the declaration has been submitted by 

SOLICITUD GENERAL, you will receive an email to the address indicated therein once your return has been registered.

In general terms, a Declaration of Continued Airworthiness or an application for the issuance of a NARC may be submitted by the owner of the aircraft. In the case of multiple owners, this may be done by any one of them.

In the specific case of ULM aircraft, in accordance with the provisions of article 34 of RD 141/2025, these tasks must be carried out by the person responsible for the maintenance and preservation of the airworthiness of the aircraft. This figure may be the owner of the aircraft or, in the case of leasing the aircraft or allowing another person to operate it, the lessee or the operator of the aircraft, provided that these are included in the aircraft Registration Certificate or the transfer of responsibilities for the maintenance of the airworthiness is included in the lease contract or any other title allowing the operation of the aircraft to another person (company deed, power of attorney, etc.), electronic apodera , the owner of the property must be given a written document signed by both parties stating that he/she has the capacity to act on behalf of the owner).

If the person responsible for the maintenance and preservation of the airworthiness of the aircraft is not the owner of the aircraft, in order to submit a Declaration of Continued Airworthiness or an application for the issuance of a NARC, it is first necessary to be registered in the “Portal de alta, modificación y gestión de contactos de Administrados SIPA”/"Portal for registering, modifying and managing SIPA Administrator contacts" as the owner's legal representative, attaching evidence of the owner's representation.

Any questions about the registration process in the AESA Admin Portal should be addressed to the following AESA email address: usuariosdsa.aesa@seguridadaerea.es.

If the Declaration of Continued Airworthiness is signed within three months prior to the expiry of the NARC or the previous declaration, the pattern shall be maintained and the two years shall be counted from the date on which it was due to expire.

See graph below:

Otherwise, its validity shall be calculated from the date of signature of the declaration:
