2. GENERAL
2.1. Introduction

2.1.1. Purpose of the Examiner Differences Document

This document has been developed in accordance with the provisions contained in
ARA.FCL.2102. In accordance with FCL.1015(b)(4) and (c), this document contains the latest
available information on the relevant national administrative procedures, requirements for
protection of personal data, liability, accident insurance and fees for each EASA Member State
(MS) for which the competent authority is not the same that issued the examiner’s certificate..
It is intented for use by examiners with a Part-FCL examiner certificate conducting a test,
check or assessment of competence on a Part-FCL licence holder whose licence was issued by
a competent authority (CA) other than their own.
This document is not meant to be used by examiners with examiner certificates or authorisations
issued by third countries other than the EASA MSs.
This section should be carefully studied. Section 3 contains the national administrative
procedures applicable to each EASA MS. These should be reviewed and applied when conducting
a skill test, proficiency check or assessment of competence on a respective MS licence holder.
Furthermore, any additional MS-specific requirements in addition to those specified in this
section, i.e. liability, accident insurance, and personal data protection related information, should
also be reviewed and taken into account by the examiner as appropriate.

2.1.2. Skill test or Proficiency check form declaration requirement

In accordance with FCL.1030(b)(3)(iv), a MS skill test, proficiency check or assessment of
competence form requires a declaration by the examiner that he/she has reviewed and applied
the MS-specific administrative procedures in case the applicant’s licencing authority is not the
same as the one that issued the examiner’s certificate.
The skill test, proficiency check or assessment of competence forms of a MS used by examiners
who have been certified by another competent authority should contain the following declaration:
‘I hereby declare that I, [name examiner], have reviewed and applied the relevant national
procedures and requirements of the applicant’s competent authority contained in version [insert
document version, i.e. 01-2014] of the Examiner Differences Document. [enter date &
signature]’
Please ensure that you enter the relevant details and sign the declaration accordingly each time
you conduct a test, check or assessment of competence.’

2.1.3. Safety criteria in the territory of an EASA Member State

In accordance with ARA.FCL.210(c), MSs may require an examiner to observe certain safety
criteria applicable to their territory when conducting a skill test or proficiency check on an
aircraft. Section 3 of this document specifies whether such safety criteria will need to be observed
and how to gain access to the relevant criteria. Section 4 of this document also contains a list of
all MSs with instructions on how to obtain the applicable safety criteria.
2.2. Liability and accident insurance
In general, the CA of an EASA MS does not provide liability or accident insurance during the
conduct of skill tests, proficiency checks or assessment of competence. It is therefore the

2
ARA.FCL.210 Information for examiners
(a) The competent authority shall notify the Agency of the national administrative procedures,
requirements for protection of personal data, liability, accident insurance and fees applicable in its
territory, which shall be used by examiners when conducting skill tests, proficiency checks or
assessments of competence of an applicant for which the competent authority is not the same that
issued the examiner’s certificate.

responsibility of the examiner to ensure that he/she is adequately insured against incident,
accident or liability issues.
Furthermore, the examiner is fully responsible for the safety during the skill test, proficiency
check or assessment of competence, either in an flight simulation training device (FSTD) or when
acting as pilot-in-command (PIC) in an aircraft. There are two principal types of risk against
which an examiner should consider insuring himself/herself. First, the direct involvement during
flying tests might lead to an accident and a claim for damages for loss or injury ensuing as a
result of the accident. Secondly, professional indemnity, for example a claim made against the
examiner by an applicant for an inadequate examination, or breach of contract. Examiners are
advised to seek professional advice concerning appropriate insurance covering their activities as
certified examiners.
An aircraft operator must have third-party liability insurance, as required by Regulation (EC)
No 785/20043 on insurance requirements for air carriers and aircraft operators. Such insurance
may cover an examiner for personal liability in case of accident; however, an examiner should
always verify this carefully with the operator if he/she intends to rely on this insurance.
Note: This general statement on liability and accident ansurance has been agreed upon by the
MSs and is based on the input received from the MSs. Any relevant differences to this general
statement in a particular MS will be specified in section 3 of this document as applicable to the
CA in the respective MS.
2.3. Personal data protection
General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’) 4
As of 25 May 2018 the Regulation (EU) 2016/6791, the European Union’s ('EU') new General
Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’) which regulates the processing by an individual, a company
or an organisation of personal data relating to individuals in the EU, becomes applicable.
This means that the persons or legal entities using the Examiner Differences Document shall
comply with the new GDPR.
The GDPR aims to protect the rights and freedoms of persons with respect to the processing of
personal data by laying down guidelines determining when this processing is lawful.
In general, skill test, proficiency check and assessment of competence forms and any other
personal information may only be passed to the examiner’s CA, the applicant’s CA as required,
to the applicant and, if applicable, to the applicant’s organisation with his/her prior consent.
No information shall be passed to others.
Note: This general statement on personal data protection has been agreed upon by the MSs and
based on the input received from the MSs. Any relevant differences to this general statement in
a particular MS will be specified in Section 3 of this document as applicable to the CA in the
respective MS.
2.4. National administrative procedures
Section 3 of this document contains the specific administrative procedures provided by the CA
of each EASA MS.
Please review the respective procedures and requirements carefully as non-compliance may
lead to application processing delays and possibly render a completed skill test, proficiency
check or assessment of competence invalid.

The examiner may endorse the licence if the rating which is renewed or revalidated is still
printed on the licence, even if it has been expired for more than three years. The authorisation
required by ARA.FCL.200(c) before endorsing a pilot licence for revalidating or renewing is
hereby given.
In all other cases the BCAA shall issue a new licence with a valid rating.
The examiner is not allowed to enter any new rating in the licence after a passed skill test.
The examiner is not allowed to enter any examiner – or instructor certificate in the licence
after a successful assessment of competence.
Examiners shall comply with the procedures specified in the different Information Notices
published on the BCAA website. The information notices relevant for examiners are indicated
on the website.

4.3 Designation procedures

4.3.1. Designation of examiners:
The designation of examiners procedure applies only for the CPL skill tests and the
assessment of competence for the issue and renewal of an examiner certificate.
The CPL skill test can only be performed by an examiner accepted by the BCAA. Therefore,
the form “Application form for designation of examiner” must be submitted by the candidate;
this can be found here.[1]
The assessment of competence for the issue or renewal of an examiner certificate can
only be performed by a senior examiner with a certificate issued by the BCAA or an
inspector from the BCAA. For renewal and issue of an examiner certificate the examiner
must be designated by the BCAA. In case of revalidation of an examiner certificate the
candidate is free to choose the senior examiner.
4.3.2. Notification of test (skill test, proficiency check and assessment of competence)
As a general rule , each examiner holding an EU examiner certificate taking a test for a
Belgian pilot licence holder, shall notify the BCAA 24 hours prior to every skill test,

the event is allowed and has to be notified by the initially assigned examiner. This can
be done by sending a reply to the confirmation mail the examiner received. It is important
to keep the reference number in the subject of the mail and to indicate the new examiner
name.
A change of date due to an unforeseen circumstance has to be notified within 24 hours
by a reply to the notification system, using the same reference number.
Each examiner holding a Belgian examiner certificate taking a test for a non-Belgian
pilot licence holder, shall upload the content of the examiner report as specified in 2.4.2
via the following tool.
4.3.3. Vested interests
According FCL.1005 examiners shall not conduct skill tests or assessments of competence of
applicants for the issue of a licence, rating or certificate when they have been responsible for
the recommendation for the skill test, in accordance with FCL.030 (b);
Postholders (Accountable manager, Head of Training, Chief Flight Instructor and Chief
Theoretical Knowledge Instructor) and representatives of a specific training organisation
(ATO or DTO) are therefore not allowed to take skill tests or assessments of competence
from candidates who received training in their own training organisation.

4.4 Skill test, proficiency check or assessment of competence forms

Items to considerations when taking a proficiency check or skill test:
 In order to fly solely by reference to instruments in simulated IMC conditions, the
BCAA requires the use of a hood or a goggle. Furthermore the aircraft must be
equipped with an artificial horizon (ADI).
Examiners are reminded that they are only allowed to use the application forms, test contents
and reports that has been developed by the BCAA. All forms can be found via the following
link: Application forms, reports and test schedules.
After completion of a skill test, proficiency check or assessment of competence, the examiner
report shall include the following information listed in general section 2.4.2 on/with those
forms.
All documents must be send to the BCAA in paper format. The address can be found in chapter
4.8
Each examiner holding a Belgian examiner certificate taking a test for a non-Belgian
pilot licence holder, shall upload the content of the examiner report as specified in 2.4.2
via the following tool.

Finnish Transport Safety Agency (Trafi)
1.Liability
General statement Section 2.2 applies. In addition, when flying a Finnish aircraft, any liability

be determined at the latest during flight preparation and stated in the flight plan. Responsibility
for operational safety during the flight rests with the PIC.
Examiners shall make sure that they have the right to act as PICfor the flight in question. In
accordance with the Finnish Aviation act, the owner, possessor or operator of the aircraft decides
on the pilot-in-command and safe manning.
When flying in Finland using Finnish aircraft, any liability for damages is determined in
accordance with Section 142 of the Finnish Aviation Act (1194/2009). Usually the aircraft owner,
possessor and operator are jointly and severally liable for any damage caused. The provisions
of the Tort Liability Act (412/1974) are applied to the division of liability between employer and
employee, determination of the value of damage, and to any adjustment of compensation.
When the examiner conducts a skill test, proficiency check or assessment of competence on
which he/she has personally agreed with the examinee or his/her instructor, the examiner has
either the status of a hired employee or an independent contractor, depending on the type of
employment or contract relationship, as regards the liability for damages. An examiner who
conducts a skill test/proficiency check at the request of an authority who nominates him/her for
the task – with the examiner’s consent - is also regarded as a contractor.

2.Accident insurance
General statement Section 2.2 applies. In addition, national provisions on the minimum
insurance cover for aircraft crew (instructor and student pilot) are contained in Section 145 of
the Finnish Aviation Act (1194/2009), but only for initial flight training (”seat insurance”).
Based on his/her employment relationship, the examiner may be covered by the employer’s
insurance against accidents at work. Examiners who do not work for an employer are regarded
as contractors and must look after their insurance cover themselves.
It is not mandatory to insure the aircraft against loss or damage. Anyone using the aircraft may
check its insurance details. If the aircraft has no insurance, the examiner may take a liability
insurance against loss or damage of the aircraft.
For some aircraft, the insurance terms may contain additional requirements concerning e.g.
thePIC’s licences, ratings, total flying experience or experience on that aircraft type or variant.
The aircraft operator (examiner/applicant) shall make sure that the third-part liability insurance
is valid on every flight.
When using an aircraft registered in another country, it is important to ensure an adequate
insurance cover both for the examiner and the applicant on each flight separately.

3.Data protection
General statement Section 2.3 applies. In addition, the Act on the Openness of Government
Activities (621/1999) specifies that the applicant’s identity number or secret telephone number
shall not be made public or used in any official documents. Information on the applicant’s

domicile, place of residence, temporary place of residence, telephone number (even if not
secret) and other contact details shall also be kept secret on request.
The applicant’s identity shall be reliably identified.
The skill test / proficiency check report becomes public when it is completed and signed,
regardless of any verbal assessments or reasons for failing explained. The completed report

shall be distributed to:

- the examinee (original)

Protection Act must be obeyed as follows;
Relevant except of the relevant CXII Hungarian Federal Data Protection Act “2011.
évi CXII., az információs önrendelkezési jogról és az információs szabadságról
törvény”
1. The object of the Act is to define the fundamental rules applied in connection with
controlling data with the aim of ensuring that the controllers respect the private sphere
of natural persons. So personal data, i.e. data relating to the data subject as well as
conclusions drawn from the data in regard to the data subject may be controlled if
a) the data subject agrees to it (except if it is not possible to obtain the consent of the
data subject or even if the cost of doing so is excessively high and the personal
data must be controlled to fulfill legal obligations applicable to the controller, or to
enforce the rightful interests of the controller or third parties and the enforcement
of such interests is proportionate to the restrictions pertaining to the right to the
protection of personal data), or
b) it is provided for by law or by or pursuant to a local government decree for a
purpose based on public interest (hereinafter mandatory data control).
2. Personal data may exclusively be controlled for a specific purpose to the extent and for
the time required to achieve the goal. Data must be recorded and controlled in a fair and
legal manner. It has to be ensured during the course of control that the data are accurate,
complete and updated, and that the data subject is only identifiable for the time required
for the data control. Through the institution of the appropriate measures the data must
be particularly protected from unauthorised access, modification, transfer, disclosure,
deletion or destruction, accidental destruction and damage as well as disabled access
occurring due to changes to the technology applied.
3. Prior to control being initiated the data subject must be explicitly informed in detail of
every fact relating to the control of their data, and therefore in particular, of the objective
of the control and its legal grounds, the individual authorised to control and process the
data, the duration of the control process, as well as of who is authorised to acquire
knowledge of this data. This information must equally detail the rights and legal redress
opportunities the data subject has in connection with control. Furthermore the data
subject may request from the controller information on the control of personal data,
correction of personal data, and deletion, blocking of personal data, with the exception
of mandatory control.
4. The controller shall correct the personal data should the personal data not be authentic
and the controller has access to the authentic personal data.
Personal data must be deleted should
a. its control be illegal;

condition that the law does not rule out deletion;
d. the objective of the control have ceased to exist or the period defined in the relevant
HUNGARY

legislation for storing the data have expired;

e. it have been ordered by the court or the Authority.
5. Instead of deletion, the controller blocks the personal data should the data subject
request this, or in the event that the basis of the information available, deletion would
presumably violate the rightful interests of the data subject. Personal data blocked
through such means may exclusively be controlled while the control objective remains
valid which barred the deletion of the personal data.
6. The data subject, as well as everyone to whom the data was transferred for control
purposes, must be notified of any correction, blocking and deletion. Exemptions apply
should this not violate the rightful interest of the data subject in respect of the objective
of control.
7. The controller shall be obliged to compensate for damages caused to others as an
outcome of the illegitimate control of the data of the data subject or a breach of data
security requirements. The controller shall be exempt from liability should they be able
to prove that the damages were caused by circumstances beyond their immediate
control. Damages do not need to be compensated should they have ensued from the
deliberate or serious negligence of the aggrieved party. 

SPAIN
/default.aspx
After completion of a skill test, proficiency check or assessment of competence, the examiner
report shall include the following information listed in general section 2.4.2
(including, if conducting PBN checks, skill test or proficiency check report form, a copy of
examiner´s logbook or equivalent record as confirmation that examiner holds PBN privileges
and a copy of FSTD approval certificate with PBN-approches qualification)

The examiner must hand a copy of his licence, copy of his examiner´s certificate and copy of
his medical certificate (if applicable) and original of skill test, proficiency check or
assessment of competence form to the applicant or to organisation (Operator/ATO) who
will subsequently deliver, by post or in person to AESA, these documents to his/her licensing
office to have her/his licence updated.

Implementation of PBN in Spain:

Examiners shall only conduct IR skill tests/proficiency checks including PBN-procedures, if they
hold PBN privileges themselves. Examiners shall provide confirmation that they hold PBN
privileges (examiner´s logbook or equivalent record).

Examiners will need to collect evidence that the theoretical and practical requirements have
been fulfilled. Such evidence is detailed in the information available on:
http://www.seguridadaerea.gob.es/media/4629058/guia_atribuciones_pbn.pdf

The required evidence will be collected by the examiner at the time of the skill test or proficiency
check under IR covering PBN approaches.

Alternatively if evidences are not enough to credit the theoretical and practical requirements
the candidate cannot proceed for the IR PBN skill test or proficiency check and can only proceed
for a normal IR proficiency check (without IR PBN)

PBN endorsement:
PBN endorsement to the IRprivileges will be signed by the examiner in the pilot's logbook or
equivalent record entering PBN APPROVED when the three RNP APCH, theoretical and practical
training, was completed at an ATO or entering PBN followed by LNAV, LANV-VNAV or LPV
according to the operator training recognized by AESA personnel licensing division.
The annual endorsement “PBN-approved” in the logbook is not required, unless other types of
PBN approaches are assessed.
