This Regulation shall be cited as MCAR-Aircrew and shall come in to force on 05 January 2020. Existing aviation requirements in the field of aircrew as listed in MCAR-Aircrew dated 31 March 2017 will not be applicable after 05 January 2020. This Regulation consists of the following Annexes: 1. Annex I Part FCL (Flight Crew Licensing) 2. Annex II Conditions for the conversion of existing licences (REPEALED) 3. Annex III Acceptance of Licences 4. Annex IV Part MED (Medical Requirements for Licensing) 5. Annex V Part CC (Qualification of Cabin Crew involved in Commercial Air transport Operations) 6. Annex VI Part ERA (Essential Requirements for Aircrew) 7. Annex VII Part ORA (Organisation Requirements for Aircrew) The common definitions of the terms and abbreviations used in this regulation are found in the start of every Annex, however the complete list of definitions and abbreviations are in MCAR-1 Definitions and Abbreviations. Pilots involved in the operation of certain aircraft, as well as flight simulation training devices, persons and organisations involved in training, testing or checking of those pilots, have to comply with the relevant essential requirements set out in this Regulation. Accordingly, pilots as well as persons and organisations involved in their training should be certified once they have been found to comply with essential requirements. Similarly, pilots should be issued with a medical certificate and aero-medical examiners, responsible for assessing the medical fitness of pilots, should be certified once they have been found to comply with the relevant essential requirements. However, this Regulation envisages the possibility of general medical practitioners to act as aero-medical examiners under certain conditions and if permitted under the national law. Cabin crew involved in the operation of certain aircraft have to comply with the relevant essential requirements set out in this Regulation. Accordingly cabin crew should be periodically assessed for medical fitness to safely exercise their assigned safety duties. Compliance must be shown by an appropriate assessment based on aero-medical best practice.

General 1. An applicant for a skill test shall have received instruction on the same class or type of aircraft to be used in the test. 2. Failure to achieve a pass in all sections of the test in two attempts will require further training. 3. There is no limit to the number of skill tests that may be attempted. CONTENT OF THE TRAINING, SKILL TEST/PROFICIENCY CHECK 4. Unless otherwise determined in the operational suitability data established in accordance with MCAR-21, the syllabus of flight instruction, the skill test and the proficiency check shall comply with this Appendix. The syllabus, skill test and proficiency check may be reduced to give credit for previous experience on similar aircraft types, as determined in the operational suitability data established in accordance with MCAR-21. 5. Except in the case of skill tests for the issue of an ATPL, when so defined in the operational suitability data established in accordance with MCAR-21 for the specific aircraft, credit may be given for skill test items common to other types or variants where the pilot is qualified. CONDUCT OF THE TEST/CHECK 6. The examiner may choose between different skill test or proficiency check scenarios containing simulated relevant operations developed and approved by MCAA. Full flight simulators and other training devices, when available, shall be used, as established in this Part. 7. During the proficiency check, the examiner shall verify that the holder of the class or type rating maintains an adequate level of theoretical knowledge. 8. Should the applicant choose to terminate a skill test for reasons considered inadequate by the examiner, the applicant shall retake the entire skill test. If the test is terminated for reasons considered adequate by the examiner, only those sections not completed shall be tested in a further flight. Issue: 4.00 162 05 January 2020 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-Aircrew Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Annex I– Part-FCL 9. At the discretion of the examiner, any manoeuvre or procedure of the test may be repeated once by the applicant. The examiner may stop the test at any stage if it is considered that the applicant’s demonstration of flying skill requires a complete re- test. 10. An applicant shall be required to fly the aircraft from a position where the PIC or co- pilot functions, as relevant, can be performed and to carry out the test as if there is no other crew member if taking the test/check under single-pilot conditions. Responsibility for the flight shall be allocated in accordance with national regulations. 11. During pre-flight preparation for the test the applicant is required to determine power settings and speeds. The applicant shall indicate to the examiner the checks and duties carried out, including the identification of radio facilities. Checks shall be completed in accordance with the check-list for the aircraft on which the test is being taken and, if applicable, with the MCC concept. Performance data for take-off, approach and landing shall be calculated by the applicant in compliance with the operations manual or flight manual for the aircraft used. Decision heights/altitude, minimum descent heights/altitudes and missed approach point shall be agreed upon with the examiner. 12. The examiner shall take no part in the operation of the aircraft except where intervention is necessary in the interests of safety or to avoid unacceptable delay to other traffic. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SKILL TEST/PROFICIENCY CHECK FOR MULTI-PILOT AIRCRAFT TYPE RATINGS, FOR SINGLE-PILOT AEROPLANE TYPE RATINGS, WHEN OPERATED IN MULTI-PILOT OPERATIONS, FOR MPL AND ATPL 13. The skill test for a multi-pilot aircraft or a single-pilot aeroplane when operated in multi-pilot operations shall be performed in a multi-crew environment. Another applicant or another type rated qualified pilot may function as second pilot. If an aircraft is used, the second pilot shall be the examiner or an instructor. 14. The applicant shall operate as PF during all sections of the skill test, except for abnormal and emergency procedures, which may be conducted as PF or PNF in accordance with MCC. The applicant for the initial issue of a multi-pilot aircraft type rating or ATPL shall also demonstrate the ability to act as PNF. The applicant may choose either the left hand or the right hand seat for the skill test if all items can be executed from the selected seat. 15. The following matters shall be specifically checked by the examiner for applicants for the ATPL or a type rating for multi-pilot aircraft or for multi-pilot operations in a single- Issue: 4.00 163 05 January 2020 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-Aircrew Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Annex I– Part-FCL pilot aeroplane extending to the duties of a PIC, irrespective of whether the applicant acts as PF or PNF: (a) management of crew cooperation; (b) maintaining a general survey of the aircraft operation by appropriate supervision; and (c) setting priorities and making decisions in accordance with safety aspects and relevant rules and regulations appropriate to the operational situation, including emergencies. 16. The test/check should be accomplished under IFR, if the IR rating is included, and as far as possible be accomplished in a simulated commercial air transport environment. An essential element to be checked is the ability to plan and conduct the flight from routine briefing material. 17. When the type rating course has included less than 2 hours flight training on the aircraft, the skill test may be conducted in an FFS and may be completed before the flight training on the aircraft. In that case, a certificate of completion of the type rating course including the flight training on the aircraft shall be forwarded to MCAA before the new type rating is entered in the applicant’s licence. B. Specific requirements for the aeroplane category PASS MARKS 1. In the case of single-pilot aeroplanes, with the exception of single-pilot high performance complex aeroplanes, the applicant shall pass all sections of the skill test or proficiency check. If any item in a section is failed, that section is failed. Failure in more than one section will require the applicant to take the entire test or check again. Any applicant failing only one section shall take the failed section again. Failure in any section of the re-test or re-check including those sections that have been passed at a previous attempt will require the applicant to take the entire test or check again. For single-pilot multi-engine aeroplanes, section 6 of the relevant test or check, addressing asymmetric flight, shall be passed. 2. In the case of multi-pilot and single-pilot high performance complex aeroplanes, the applicant shall pass all sections of the skill test or proficiency check. Failure of more than five items will require the applicant to take the entire test or check again. Any applicant failing five or less items shall take the failed items again. Failure in any item on the re-test or re-check including those items that have been passed at a previous attempt will require the applicant to take the entire check or test again. Section 6 is not part of the ATPL or MPL skill test. If the applicant only fails or does not take section 6, the type rating will be issued without CAT II or CAT III privileges. To extend the type Issue: 4.00 164 05 January 2020 Maldivian Civil Aviation Regulations MCAR-Aircrew Maldives Civil Aviation Authority Annex I– Part-FCL rating privileges to CAT II or CAT III, the applicant shall pass the section 6 on the appropriate type of aircraft. FLIGHT TEST TOLERANCE 3. The applicant shall demonstrate the ability to: (a) operate the aeroplane within its limitations; (b) complete all manoeuvres with smoothness and accuracy; (c) exercise good judgement and airmanship; (d) apply aeronautical knowledge; (e) maintain control of the aeroplane at all times in such a manner that the successful outcome of a procedure or manoeuvre is always assured; (f) understand and apply crew coordination and incapacitation procedures, if applicable; and (g) communicate effectively with the other crew members, if applicable. 4.
