• the issue, revalidation and renewal of type ratings for Boeing 737
• single-pilot high performance complex aeroplanes when the applicant seeks privileges to operate in multi-pilot operations (e.g. if you are a holder of TRI C525, you are granted the multi-pilot training privileges;
• MCC training;
• the MPL training course on the basic, intermediate and advanced phases, provided that, for the basic phase, they hold or have held an FI(A) or IRI(A) certificate;

If the TRI assessment of competence is done in simulator, the privileges of TRI Boeing 737 are also restricted to the FSTD or restricted iaw FCL.910.TRI.

The privileges of a TRI B737 include privileges to conduct Evidence Based Training practical assessment at an EBT operator, provided that the instructor complies with the requirements of Annex III (Part-ORO) to Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 for EBT instructor standardisation at that EBT operator.

TRI B737 Restricted privileges

Most common is the restriction of TRI Boeing 737 privileges for flight training in simulator. In that case the privileges of TRI Boeing 737 are the same like the privileges of Boeing 737. In case of following exercises have been a part of the training in FSTD, the TRI Boeing 737 can provide following trainings in real aircraft:

• Line training under supervision (LIFUS)
• base training

Since the flight training is not applicable in real Boeing 737 aeroplane, the restricted TRI B737 privileges will cover all the training requirements. If the B737 TRI training is carried out in FSTDs only, the privileges of TRIs shall be restricted to training in FSTDs. This restriction shall however include the following privileges for conducting, in the B737 aircraft:

• LIFUS, provided that the TRI training course has included the training specified in point FCL.930.TRI(a)(4)(i);
• landing training, provided that the TRI training course has included the training specified in point FCL.930.TRI(a)(4)(ii); or
• the training flight specified in point FCL.060(c)(2), provided that the TRI training course has included the training referred to in points (a)(1) or (a)(2).

The restriction to FSTD shall be removed if TRIs have completed an assessment of competence in the aircraft.

In accordance with GM1 FCL.910.TRI the restrictions of the TRI privileges are annotated on the license under ‘Remarks and Restrictions’ against the appropriate TRI certificate, along with the following endorsements:

• if the training is carried out in an FSTD: ‘TRI/r’ (r=restricted);
• if the TRI training, as specified in point FCL.910.TRI(a)(1), includes the LIFUS training: endorsement as per point (a) and ‘LIFUS’; and
• if the landing training, as specified in point FCL.910.TRI(a)(2), is included in the TRI training course: endorsement as per point (a) and ‘LT’ (LT = landing training).

For example a TRI restricted with LIFUS and landing training privileges will have on their license the following endorsement: ‘TRI/r LIFUS LT’.

• 10 hours for multi-pilot aircraft or an FSTD representing Boeing 737;
• the additional training, as applicable:
  • additional specific training before conducting LIFUS;
  • additional specific training before conducting landing training. That training in the FSTD shall include training for emergency procedures related to the aircraft.

Assessment of Competence TRI Boeing 737

Future Type Rating Instructor - TRI on Boeing 737 shall demonstrate his abilities and competence to provide the training towards Boeing 737 in accordance with FCL.935.TRI.
