Revalidation of EASA Examiner ✈️
By the definition by Part FCL - the revalidation Examiner certificate means the administrative action taken within the period of validity of a certificate which allows the holder to continue to exercise the privileges of certificate for a further specified period consequent upon the fulfilment of specified requirements. Revalidation of all EASA Examiner certificates is very similar.
All of the EASA Examiner certificates have a validity period of 36 months and need to be revalidated to keep them current.
Cross credit of Examiner qualifications
If applicants for the revalidation of Examiner certificate hold privileges for more than one category of examiner, all examiner privileges may be revalidated if applicants comply with the requirements for one of the categories of examiner certificates held, in agreement with the competent authority.
This means if you hold even all possible examiner certificates, all of them could be revalidated by meeting the revalidation requirements for one.
✅ Example of cross credit
Let's imagine you hold following certificates - FE(A), CRE SEP(land), CRE MEP(land) and TRE CL65. By meeting the revalidation criteria - e.g. you have done
- 2 PPL exams,
- 2 proficiency checks SEP(land) and
- 2 skill tests MEP(land)
All your Examiner certificates will be revalidated eventhough you have not done any checkride on CL65 as TRE.
