Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This exemption lets Air Transport Pilot Licence holders at airlines with approved training/checking departments operate with a relaxed "recent experience" rule: pilots may have up to 35 days since last flying a specific type before needing refresher flying.

If a pilot hasn’t flown that type within 35 days (including a take‑off and landing), they must regain hands‑on currency—either two take‑offs and two landings in type or one hour including a take‑off and landing—and the airline must retain the exemption in its operations manual.
