FCL.945

David holds FCL.945 privileges that allow him to sign your PPL licence and submit biennial 'renewal by experience' CAA forms. Additionally, for LAPL holders, sign your log book for currency flights.

A CRI allows to instruct for:

(a) the issue, revalidation or renewal of a class or type rating for non-complex non-high performance single-pilot aeroplanes, when the privileges sought by the applicant are to fly in single-pilot operations

David can help you if you:

1. hold a SEP and require your biennial flight with an instructor, David has FCL.945 privileges

2. requires a couple of hours to achieve the necessary P1 time to renew by experience

3. hold a LAPL and you need a currency flight

4. require currency training for NPPL(SSEA) holders, including towards rating renewal.

5. have a SEP and need to build your confidence

6. have a SEP and wish to spread your wings across the channel

7. have a lapsed SEP and need training as required

8. for many reasons, need a check-ride (syndicate/group/insurance)

9. hold a commercial licence without an SEP, and would like the SEP rating

10. require differences training on VP/Retractable

David is happy to travel to local airfields like Kemble, Gloucester, Cardiff, and Dunkeswell.
