1.0 Introduction
1. Introduction
The privileges of the holder of an ATPL are, within the appropriate aircraft category, to exercise all the privileges
of the holder of an LAPL, a PPL and a CPL and to act as PIC of aircraft engaged in commercial air transport
operations.
Applicants for an ATPL(A) shall pass a skill test in accordance with Appendix 9 to Part FCL to demonstrate the
ability to perform, as PIC of a multi-pilot aeroplane under IFR, the relevant procedures and manoeuvres with the
competency appropriate to the privileges granted.
For the issue of an ATPL Applicants shall have fulfilled the requirements for the type rating of the aircraft used in
the skill test. If the ATPL(A) skill test is combined with a type rating skill test or renewal proficiency check, please
refer to the General section 3.0 for the applicable FEM test module for the test being conducted. All theoretical
and hours requirements must have been met before the skills test is completed.

2. Test Administration
Test profiles should be planned to make efficient use of time and airspace. The Examiner may choose between
different skill test or proficiency check scenarios to ensure the mandatory items of the applicable test schedule
are completed. Full-flight simulators and other training devices shall be used, as established in this Annex
(Part-FCL).
Examiner’s should plan 120 minutes for the test profile and 4 hours for the whole examination, avoiding protracted
flight time beyond that reasonably required for the Candidate to display the required skills.
Before proceeding with the test, the Examiner shall verify that the prerequisites are met, including the skill test
recommendation if applicable. The Examiner should verify the Candidates credentials and check documentation
such as:
• Valid ID or passport;

• Medical certificate class 1 or 2, as applicable;
• Applicable pilot license and associated rating pages;
• Valid English language proficiency;
• Verify the Candidate’s logbook for the required flight hours;
• Any other documentation required for the applicable class or type rating test
The Examiner should formally start the test when satisfied that the prerequisite requirements are met, and the
Candidate is fit and ready.
3. Examiner Briefing
The Examiner should clearly define the roles of Examiner and Candidate during the test to ensure no ambiguity
exists.
The Examiner should brief at least the following elements:
• Purpose and aim of the skill test
• Applicable weather minimum
• Pass, fail, and partial pass criteria, repeat items option, and examination termination rules
• Examiner responsibility
• Freedom for the Candidate to ask questions
When covering the pass/fail criteria, the Examiner should brief and agree with the Candidate the minimum
