Regulatory framework concerning flight instruction under Part FCL on SEP/TMG aircraft

We are planning changes to the regulations that currently allow flight instruction on SEP/TMG aircraft (Part 21 and non-Part 21) by instructors who have made a Pilot Medical Declaration (PMD) instead of holding a Class 2 Medical Certificate.

We intend to amend the regulations to protect the standard of the Part-FCL PPL and ensure students can choose training with medically certified instructors.

A formal consultation will begin in the coming months. Pilots may continue to apply for ANO licence conversions but should be aware that PMD-based instruction privileges may be withdrawn.
