THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROCEDURE IS TO GUIDE AN INSPECTOR THROUGH THE PROCESS NECESSARY TO COMPLETE ALL LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS WHEN AN INITIAL EXAMINER APPLICATION IS RECEIVED.
Initial Examiner applications must be performed on the “Examiner application form” found on the Examiners intranet. Once the form has been received, it must be saved in the WORKZONE system on the personal file.
No initial Examiner training can be initiated, until the Examiner applicant has attended an Examiners seminar. The Danish CAA accepts if the applicant has either attended a Danish, Norwegian or Swedish Examiner seminar. Once the Examiner seminar is passed, the practical training can be scheduled.
Practical training can only be performed by Inspectors and Senior Examiners. It can also be performed on an approved Examiner training course. This course will be specifically approved by the Danish Authority. The Examiner coordinator will approve the Inspector or (Senior) Examiner to perform this training case by case. Even though it is not a requirement it will preferable be an Inspector or a Senior Examiner holding the same privileges as the ones the Examiner applicant is seeking. Examiners and Inspectors involved in the practical training may generally not perform the assessment on the Examiner applicant. However in certain cases, the Examiner coordinator, may approve that the Examiner/Inspector who performed the training, also performs the Examiner assessment. This will only be approved, if it is considered unrealistic expensive or problematic, having another Examiner/Inspector doing the assessment. A maximum of 25% of Examiner assessment may be performed by an Examiner/Inspector who have been involved in the training. The oversight program shall, when fully operational, monitor that these cases, are within the same stats, as other training cases.
For the practical training the applicant must book the simulator or aircraft used for the training, and he must bring appropriate rated pilots who will function as dummies. The planning process must be done via mails, to avoid any misunderstandings.
In this part of the process it is very important, that the Examiner applicant is informed of costs and fees for this training. The applicant must cover all costs for dummies, simulator, aircraft, transportation and accommodation of all persons involved. Furthermore he must pay the Examiner certificate issue fee as described in the fee note.
The amount of training required depends on the Examiner privileges applied for. FE and FIE requires a minimum of 2 training flights and all other Examiner certificates requires minimum 4 training flights. Furthermore a minimum of 2 training flights per privilege applied for is required for instance a FE(A) with privileges for LAPL, PPL and CPL would require 6 training flights.
The regulation accepts that 2 training flights can be performed in 1 flight. This will always be accepted if 2 Examiners takes the training together.
If the Examiner privileges include instrument privileges a minimum of 2 training flights must be in simulator of the same type as the aircraft. If no simulator exists of this type an equivalent simulator type may be used.
Once the training has been successfully completed and the progress test is passed, the Examiner applicant must pass an Examiner assessment of competence.
This assessment must be performed by a Senior Examiner or an Inspector preferably rated on the type. This however is not a requirement and the Examiner coordinator can in all cases disregard this requirement.
The Examiner assessment of competence must be performed on the “Examiner assessment of competence” form found on the Examiners intranet.
Once the Examiner assessment of competence is passed and documentation is received, it must be saved on the Examiner applicant personal file in the WorkZone system together with all training documentation.
Now the Examiner must be registered in the Examiner database which is an ACCESS database designed to include all Examiner information. The information must be entered manual and abbreviations as described on the Examiner certificate shall be used. Personal details, the last entry area in the database, shall only be filled out, if requested by the applicant.
When the Examiner database is updated, the licence and the attached letter must be printed, stamped and signed by issuing Inspector.
This is done in the word file “Examiner certificate” and “Examiner brev” where the relevant Examiner is entered and printed. Always double check Examiner details with T-sys in case of changes in personal information.
The last step is to enter examiner details and Examiner assessment of competence date in “Examiner gebyrer ikke registreret”. By doing this, the Examiner certificate issuing fee, will be send to the Examiner applicant.
