What is the validity of the cabin crew certificate (CPC)?

Cabin crew attestations are issued for an unlimited period and shall remain valid unless: 

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

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

c) the holder completed the initial training more than 60 months ago without having exercised, after the certificate was issued, as a TCP. 

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

How do I prove the validity of the TCP certificate?

The operator shall retain, and make available on request, the cabin crew certificate, roster, training and checking records pertaining to his type or variant of aircraft qualifications, unless such records are maintained by the operator employing his services and can be made available promptly on request to a competent authority or to the operator.

Can I exercise attributions of a rating that is expired?

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

Remember if the rating is expired you can't exercise flight privileges until it’s in force again on your FCL license

What is the difference between revalidating and renewing a rating?

  • 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.
