Dear Roger,

Further to our telephone conversation this morning, we have the following comments.

In relation to Biennial Flight Reviews:

Where the applicant is a sole or joint owner of an aircraft (with a C of A issued in accordance with ICAO Annex 8), this department of the CAA has no objection to the DfT issuing its permission to enable aerial work consisting of flying training for the purpose of renewing or revalidating the applicant's pilot licence or flight testing for the purpose of renewing or revalidating the applicant's pilot licence.  If such a permit is to be issued, it is our view that the conditions of the permit should exclude any instruction for the purpose of becoming qualified for the grant of a licence or the inclusion or variation of a rating.  We will be happy to advise on the wording of the permit, should you require.

In relation to all other flying training/testing:

Where it is intended to conduct flying training and/or testing for the purpose of becoming qualified for the grant of a pilot's licence or the inclusion or variation of any rating, or for any purpose other than renewing or revalidating the applicant's pilot licence, the CAA believes that the particular circumstances of the case should be considered prior to the DfT deciding whether to issue their permission for such aerial work.

Regards

George
