Part-FCL pilots

If you are the holder of an EIR, the following is applicable: You can continue to use the EIR until 8 September 2022, provided that your EIR is valid. The EIR can be kept valid or revalidated in accordance with the current conditions (FCL.825 (g); Annex II).

The BIR was introduced on 8 September 2021. From this date onwards, you can convert your EIR to a BIR. Based on your EIR, you can be eligible for exemptions from parts of the training for a BIR. You are hereby granted exemption for at least module 1 (the core module of the flight skill training with the use of instruments only). You will also be exempt from the BIR theory training and BIR theory examinations. For more information, you can consult an ATO who provides the BIR training.

Are you presently enrolled for an EIR training course, and do you want to know what you have to do to attend BIR training? Then visit the ILT website (Dutch) where you can find all the information on this subject.

Information about the conversion of your education can be found on the ILT website (Dutch) in the information sheet.

Providing a verification letter is a service for which we charge a fee since 1 November 2017. The verification letter can be requested by the pilot, airline or aviation authority. The request can be submitted via the contact form stating the address that must be mentioned on the invoice.

The verification letter states your name, date of birth, licence number and all valid ratings. The verification letter also includes a no-incident/accident declaration.

The no-incident/accident declaration can be requested by the pilot, airline or aviation authority. This is also a service for which a fee is requested since 1 November 2017. The valid ratings are not stated in this.

Verification of the medical data is issued by the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate. Requests for this can be sent to medischluchtvaart@ilent.nl.

Your practical exam is valid for six months after successfully completing the skills test.

If you live abroad and do not have a correspondence address in the Netherlands, your licence will be sent by registered post from 1 May 2019. For this, in addition to an invoice for processing your request, you will receive an invoice for the courier service. Click here for the rate. When your certificate of authority is dispatched, we will send you a track & trace code by e-mail so that you can follow the shipment.

If the LPE has expired for less than three months, the language proficiency assessment can take place during an existing assessment or training activity such as a professional check with a limited Language Assessment Body (LAB) recognised by the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate.

In addition, the language skills evaluation can be performed at a language evaluation body authorised by the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate or an authorised LAB in another EU member state.

If the LPE expired more than three months ago, the language skills evaluation can only be performed at a language evaluation body authorised by the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (Language Assessment Body (LAB)) or an authorised LAB in another EU member state.

Each request for the issue of a product is processed separately because each product has different legal requirements that must be fulfilled. That is why you pay per processing of a product the rate stated in the aviation tariffs regulation (Dutch).

To convert your foreign EU licence into a Dutch licence, you fill in the “Part-FCL licence transfer” form. You send this form with a copy of your passport to Kiwa Register. Kiwa Register retrieves your data from the relevant authority by means of a licence transfer form. As soon as this data has been received by Kiwa Register, you will receive a payment slip for the issue of the Dutch EU Certificate of competence. Your data will be copied as it appears on the licence transfer document.

To convert your Dutch EU licence into a foreign EU licence, you can contact the foreign authorities and submit a request there for conversion. The foreign authority sends a licence transfer form to Kiwa Register. Kiwa Register fills in the licence transfer form and then sends it back to the relevant authority. As soon as you receive the new EU licence, you are requested to hand in your Dutch licence to the foreign authorities.
