COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2018/1974
of 14 December 2018
amending Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 laying down technical requirements and administrative procedures related to civil aviation aircrew pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2018 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and amending Regulations (EC) No 2111/2005, (EC) No 1008/2008, (EU) No 996/2010, (EU) No 376/2014 and Directives 2014/30/EU and 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 552/2004 and (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 (1), and in particular Article 23 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 (2) lays down technical requirements for the certification of flight simulation training devices, the certification of pilots involved in the operation of certain aircraft, and the certification of persons and organisations involved in the pilot training, testing and checking. |
(2) |
Since the last decade, aeroplane upset or loss of control have been identified among the major risk factors that could lead to fatal accidents in commercial air transport operations and its prevention became a strategic priority in Europe (3) and at a global level. This included new training requirements to better prepare pilots for adverse situations of aircraft upset and loss of control. |
(3) |
By Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/445 (4), the existing training requirements for commercial pilots were updated to include upset prevention and recovery training (UPRT) as a mandatory constituent of the theoretical knowledge of pilots. Further detailed training elements and training objectives are needed to improve pilot competencies for both prevention of and recovery from aeroplane upsets that can lead to a loss of control and, eventually, to a fatal accident. |
(4) |
UPRT needs to be integrated at various stages of a professional pilot's career and should be reflected in the privileges stated in the individual pilot licence. A well-developed and well-maintained competence of professional pilots in upset prevention and recovery should be ensured. UPRT should become a mandatory part of the multi-crew pilot licence (MPL) training course and the integrated training course for airline transport pilots for aeroplanes (ATP(A)) and a training course for a commercial pilot licence for aeroplanes (CPL(A)) as well as for class and type-ratings for single-pilot aeroplanes operated in multi-pilot operations, single-pilot non-high-performance complex, high-performance complex aeroplanes and multi-pilot aeroplanes ratings. In order to allow pilots to develop advanced competencies in upset prevention and recovery, the relevant training course should include related air exercises in an aeroplane. |
(5) |
Further to the introduction of the new course related to the development of advanced pilot competencies in upset prevention and recovery, the requirements for instructor certificates should be revised in order to ensure that persons instructing on this course are appropriately qualified. |
(6) |
This Regulation reflects the provisions adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) in 2014 on UPRT for multi-crew pilot licences and for multi-pilot aeroplane type ratings through the amendment to Annex 1 to the Chicago Convention on Personnel Licensing. |
(7) |
It is in the interest of aviation safety that the new UPRT elements should be implemented as soon as possible. Transitional provisions should be put in place to allow training courses that have started before these UPRT-related amendments to the requirements on pilot training become effective, to be completed without any further adaptation. In this context, it should be considered that pilots flying for commercial air operators in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 (5) need to undergo regular operator training which already today contains UPRT elements. Additionally, pilot training organisations should be given a transitional period to adapt their training programmes to comply with the new UPRT requirements. At the end of that transitional period, all relevant training courses should be conducted in accordance with the new UPRT requirements. |
(8) |
Negotiations between the Union and certain third countries are currently still ongoing, including on the conversion of pilot licences and associated medical certificates. In order to ensure that Member States may continue to recognise third country licences and medical certificates for an interim period in light of those negotiations, it is necessary to prolong the period during which Member States may decide not to apply the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 in their territory to pilots holding a licence and associated medical certificate issued by a third country involved in the non-commercial operation of certain aircraft. |
(9) |
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency submitted draft implementing rules to the European Commission together with its Opinion No 06/2017. |
(10) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 127 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 is amended as follows:
(1) |
after Article 4a, the following Article 4b is inserted: ‘Article 4b Upset prevention and recovery training 1. Upset prevention and recovery training shall become a mandatory part of a training course for a multi-crew pilot licence (MPL), an integrated training course for airline transport pilots for aeroplanes (ATP(A)), a training course for a commercial pilot licence for aeroplanes (CPL(A)) and training courses for a class or type rating for:

For the purpose of paragraph 1, the competent authority may on its own assessment and pursuant to a recommendation from an ATO give credit for any upset prevention and recovery training completed before 20 December 2019 under national training requirements.’; |
(2) |
in Article 12, paragraph 4 is replaced by the following: ‘4. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, Member States may decide not to apply the provisions of this Regulation until 20 June 2020, to pilots holding a licence and associated medical certificate issued by a third country involved in the non-commercial operation of aircraft as specified in Article 2(1)(b), points (i) or (ii), of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139. Member States shall make those decisions publicly available.’; |
(3) |

(4) |
Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation. |
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
However:

CONDUCT OF THE TEST/CHECK 6. The examiner may choose between different skill test or proficiency check scenarios containing simulated relevant operations. Full-flight simulators and other training devices shall be used, as established in this Annex (Part-FCL). 7. During the proficiency check, the examiner shall verify that holders of the class or type rating maintain an adequate level of theoretical knowledge. 8. Should applicants choose to terminate a skill test for reasons considered inadequate by the examiner, they shall retake the entire skill test. If the test is terminated for reasons considered adequate by the examiner, only those sections not completed shall be tested in a further flight. 9. At the discretion of the examiner, any manoeuvre or procedure of the test may be repeated once by the applicants. The examiner may stop the test at any stage if it is considered that the applicants' demonstration of flying skill requires a complete retest. 10. Applicants shall be required to fly the aircraft from a position where the PIC or co-pilot functions, as relevant, can be performed. Under single-pilot conditions, the test shall be performed as if there was no other crew member present. 11. During preflight preparation for the test, applicants are required to determine power settings and speeds. Applicants shall indicate to the examiner the checks and duties carried out, including the identification of radio facilities. Checks shall be completed in accordance with the checklist for the aircraft on which the test is being taken and, if applicable, with the MCC concept. Performance data for take-off, approach and landing shall be calculated by applicants in compliance with the operations manual or flight manual for the aircraft used. Decision heights/altitudes, minimum descent heights/altitudes and missed approach point shall be agreed upon with the examiner. 12. The examiner shall take no part in the operation of the aircraft except where intervention is necessary in the interests of safety or to avoid unacceptable delay to other traffic. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SKILL TEST/PROFICIENCY CHECK FOR MULTI-PILOT AIRCRAFT TYPE RATINGS, FOR SINGLE-PILOT AEROPLANE TYPE RATINGS WHEN OPERATED IN MULTI-PILOT OPERATIONS, FOR MPL AND ATPL 13.

Another applicant or another type rated qualified pilot may function as the second pilot. If an aircraft is used, the second pilot shall be the examiner or an instructor. 14. Applicants shall operate as PF during all sections of the skill test, except for abnormal and emergency procedures, which may be conducted as PF or PM in accordance with MCC. Applicants for the initial issue of a multi-pilot aircraft type rating or ATPL shall also demonstrate the ability to act as PM. Applicants may choose either the left-hand or the right-hand seat for the skill test if all items can be executed from the selected seat. 15. The following matters shall be specifically checked by the examiner for applicants for the ATPL or a type rating for multi-pilot aircraft or for multi-pilot operations in a single-pilot aeroplane extending to the duties of a PIC, irrespective of whether the applicants act as PF or PM:
16. The test or check should be accomplished under IFR, if the IR rating is included, and as far as possible be accomplished in a simulated commercial air transport environment. An essential element to be checked is the ability to plan and conduct the flight from routine briefing material. 17. When the type rating course has included less than 2 hours of flight training in the aircraft, the skill test may be conducted in an FFS and may be completed before the flight training in the aircraft. The approved flight training shall be performed by a qualified instructor under the responsibility of:
A certificate of completion of the type rating course including the flight training in the aircraft shall be forwarded to the competent authority before the new type rating is entered in the applicants' licence. 18. For the upset recovery training, ‘stall event’ means either an approach-to-stall or a stall. An FFS can be used by the ATO to either train recovery from a stall or demonstrate the type-specific characteristics of a stall, or both, provided that:
