The validity of the ATR 42/72 type rating is one year. The revalidation of the rating (LPC – license proficiency check) can be performed within 90 days prior to the expiry date issued in the license. Our examiners are registered with many civil aviation authorities and are able to perform proficiency checks or skill tests for all EASA member states.

In case your type rating has expired, we offer renewal trainings to regain the level of proficiency required to safely operate the ATR 72-600. The amount of refresher training needed is determined on a case-by-case basis and depends on the on-type experience of the applicant, the amount of time elapsed since the expiry of the validity period of the rating and the pilot’s overall flight experience. Our training department reviews your documents and prepares a training program customized to your proficiency. Please contact our sales department for more detailed information on the rules and procedures required by the different national authorities.

The TRI/SFI course comprises 3 modules:
Module 1: Teaching and Learning
(Introduction to training and instructing techniques, candidate evaluation and lecturing). This module will be credited if the applicant already holds or has held a flight instructor license.
Module 2: Technical Course & FFS Training
The technical course enables the instructor candidate to teach the type-specific syllabus for the ATR42/72. Particular attention to multi-crew cooperation is taught in respect of panel flow patterns, checklist strategy, workload management and task sharing. During thef flight training the candidate performs exercises of instruction required to qualify for type rating training privileges.
Module 3: Assessment of Competence
An Assessment of Competence concludes the TRI/SFI course. Depending on the extend of the desired privileges, the assessment takes place at the FFS (TRI restricted with privileges) or at the aircraft (TRI unrestricted).

TRI restricted with privileges

1. privilege of type rating instruction on a FFS
2. privilege of conducting landing training on an aircraft (base training) after the type rating
3. privilege of conducting training flights for recent experience (3 take offs, approaches and landings during 90 days) on a FFS or an aeroplane
4. privilege of performung LIFUS after a ZFFT according ORA.ATO.330 (First four landings with TRI on commercial flights)*

*Note: For LIFUS described and in accordance with EU 965/2012 "Air Operations" a TRI license is not required.

TRI unrestricted
