The privileges of a TRI CL30 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 CL30 Restricted privileges

Most common is the restriction of TRI Challenger 300 / 350 privileges for flight training in simulator. In that case the privileges of TRI Challenger CL30 are the same like the privileges of Challenger CL30. In case of following exercises have been a part of the training in FSTD, the TRI CL30 can provide following trainings in real aircraft:

  • Line training under supervision (LIFUS)
  • base training

Since the flight training is not applicable in real Challenger 300 / 350 aeroplane, the restricted TRI CL30 privileges will cover all the training requirements. If the CL30 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 CL30 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’.
