Validation of Licences

27—(1) Subject to paragraphs (2) and (6), the CAA may issue a certificate of validation rendering valid for the purposes of this Order any flight crew licence granted under the law of any country other than the United Kingdom other than a JAA licence. A certificate of validation may be issued subject to such conditions and for such periods as the CAA thinks fit.

(2) Pursuant to Council Directive 91/670 EEC(1) on mutual acceptance of personnel licences for the exercise of functions in civil aviation as it has effect in accordance with the EEA Agreement(2) as amended by the Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No. 7/94 of 21st March 1994(3), the CAA shall, subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), issue a certificate of validation rendering valid a relevant licence granted under the law of an EEA State.

(3) For the purposes of this article, a relevant licence is one based on requirements equivalent to those for the equivalent licence granted by the CAA under article 22 of this Order.

(4) (a) The CAA may ask the Commission for an opinion on the equivalence of a licence submitted for validation pursuant to paragraph (2) of this article within three weeks of receipt by the CAA of all necessary information in respect of an application for validation.

(b)If the CAA does not ask the Commission for such an opinion, the CAA shall within three months of receipt of all necessary information in respect of the application either issue the certificate of validation or inform the applicant of any additional requirements or tests which are necessary to enable the CAA to grant the certificate of validation.

(5) (a) If after the examination of a licence the CAA has reasonable doubts as to the equivalence of that licence, the CAA may stipulate additional requirements and/or tests as necessary to enable the certificate of validation to be issued.

(b)Any such additional requirements and/or tests shall be notified as soon as reasonably practicable to the licence holder, the authority which issued the licence and to the Commission.

(6) Pursuant to the said Council Directive, the CAA shall issue a certificate of validation rendering valid any licence issued in accordance with the requirements of annex 1 to the Chicago Convention if the bearer satisfies the special validation requirements laid down in the annex to the said Council Directive.
