Procedures and Documentary Requirements in Re Proficiency Checks

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines has streamlined the process for conducting pilot proficiency checks, reducing unnecessary documentation and wait times. Operators must now simply notify their Principal Operations Inspector (POI) of their intention to conduct training, and the POI will respond within 24 hours. Pilots no longer need to submit excessive documents, and results from the checks must be submitted within ten days.

Key points

• Operators must inform their POI to request proficiency checks.
• POI will respond within 24 hours to approve or deny requests.
• Pilots are no longer required to submit multiple documents for checks.
• Proficiency check results must be submitted within ten days after completion.
• Designated Check Airmen are authorized to conduct and oversee checks more efficiently.
