GM2 to Appendix 10 — Revalidation and renewal of type ratings, and revalidation and renewal of IRs when combined with the revalidation or renewal of type ratings – EBT practical assessment

EBT PRACTICAL ASSESSMENT — PROFICIENCY CHECK EBT practical assessment (or Practical assessment) is defined in FCL.010. More information can be found in ICAO Doc 9868 ‘PANS-TRG’.

(a)The demonstration of skills to revalidate or renew referred to in the definition of ‘proficiency check’ in point FCL.010 is equivalent to the EBT practical assessments conducted in the EBT programme and the final review of the examiner. In fact, one single EBT practical assessment demonstrates the necessary skills performed in legacy training; however, EBT goes one step further — to revalidate or renew, the pilot performs at least two demonstrations, corresponding to at least two EBT modules within the validity period of the type rating.

(b)A proficiency check is equivalent to the combination of the evaluation phase (EVAL) and manoeuvres training phase (MT). However, EBT also requires a scenario-based training phase (SBT) following the EVAL to complete the module.
